Time.news – American authorities have issued an alert for the possible impact of tropical storm Henri in New York and New England, urging residents to prepare for a difficult weekend. According to forecasts, the disturbance should “intensify on Sunday”, with a possible queue on Monday.
The path Henri could follow is still difficult to establish but the White House has reported that the president, Joe Biden, has been briefed on which areas may be most affected.
The national weather alert service then warned of possible difficulties in traveling, urging caution and advising to take public transport. Faced with possible blackouts, it was suggested to “recharge mobile phone batteries”.
Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker has invited people on vacation to the coast to leave well before Henri strikes while those who are about to leave their home to delay their departure.
The weather service warned that the storm, with its strong winds, could create widespread coastal flooding. Authorities in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York have speculated a possible and temporary (about a week) power failure. At the same time, they reminded boat owners to keep them safe, fill up the car and stockpile a sufficient supply of canned food.
