August 21, 2021, 4:37 PMAMAGANSETT, N.Y. -The U.S. East Coast braced on Saturday to take a direct hit from Hurricane Henri as it threatened to pound the region with fierce winds and heavy rains that could cause "life-threatening" storm surge and flooding, the National Hurricane Center said.
"This is a life-threatening situation. Persons located within these areas should take all necessary actions to protect life and property from rising water and the potential for other dangerous conditions," the NHC said. The center warned that Henri could produce storm surges of 3 to 5 feet along the coast in New England, 75 mph or higher wind gusts and rains of 3 to 6 inches with 10 inches in isolated areas.On eastern Long Island, in the tiny Hampton hamlet of Amagansett, New York, home to Paul McCartney, Alec Baldwin and Gwyneth Paltrow, normally well-heeled residents packed supermarkets, hardware and liquor stores early Saturday morning.
"You always have to be prepared," said Cinque, who has owned the store for 42 years and also volunteers as an emergency responder. "You have to take it seriously." Asked if he thought this Henri could cause as much damage, he said he was preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. "They’re preparing from past experience," Newport Hardware sales associate Hank Lopes told the Newport Daily News. "In low-lying areas like around here, people’s basements will flood even during a little rainstorm, not to mention what might be headed this way."
