HENRI

[Bassmaster]

Only question at this point is how far west this storm goes. We are on the moon this sunday so the tides will be astronomically higher than normal.

11pm next update. Storm is trending more west. This storm will be a hurricane tomorrow night and might strengthen to a cat 2. Not out of the question. Henri will stall for days over the northeast. Looking at over a foot of rain. Will update as new forecasts become available

5am update has major shift to the west and just off Montauk

The storm is also a snail, which means longer times under the influence. For us on the track above the landfall, it's a great bonus, as the stall will bust the storm up so our involvement will be with a mild Tropical Storm IF things don't change for the worse...

Current wind speed and direction forecasts for my hood are low enough to belay any thoughts of hauling the boat and wide-spread removal of lawn/patio furniture, etc. Probably just remove the pergola top, put the glass patio table and chairs upside down on the lawn, move the kayaks up off the float to the dock and triple tie down the boat.

Now that I'm getting smug, I think I should just get the trailer ready just in case I'll need to haul. Never hurts hitting the rollers with oil before the end of the season...

Hurricane watch in effect for Suffolk

Tropical storm watch for Nassau and all of NYC.

Generator not set to run an exercise cycle this Sunday since she did one last week, but maybe I'll exercise Genny today just to make sure she is ready to jump into action.

Standby generators, don't live in Maine without one...

well those of us with boats in the water don't have that option
By that time its too late
Me and my boy hauled it out and its on the trailer in driveway
took all of 15 minutes

Plus I'll be busy as shit with work no matter where it hits as my group covers the entire Northeast as our main territory

I agree Roccus
I'd be more concerned with the duration for potential flooding and high water during full moon than the intensity of windspeed

You cant pull the boat in wind/rain

National Grid in RI is really bad

Standby generators, don't live in Maine without one...

The power goes out on Aquidneck island in RI if someone sneezes, unfortunately HOA doesn't allow generators.
National Grid is pretty lame.

Boy someone hasn't hauled a boat recently...

Hi everyone. Been tracking Henri for a few days. Models the last 2 days are showing a phase with the incoming trough. That means that the system will pull NW into landmass, like Sandy did. That track is the worst because of the trajectory and the push of water on the east side of storm.

What this comes down to is where it turns NW and also how strong it is. Most models are weaker. High end Tropical storm. But some are stronger and up to a Category 2 hurricane.

Right now, I would favor all of LI for landfall and biggest storm surge impact from Long Beach to Montauk.

The strength of the storm is unknown right now but we should get a better idea by tomorrow morning.

There is also a threat of heavy flooding rains and tornadoes.

Will try and keep you updated.

A set of new hurricane models just came out and they are even further west than this with the tightest cluster into the NYC boroughs.
