Tropical Storm Henri was on course to make landfall on the United States East Coast on Sunday, with millions in New England and New York’s Long Island preparing for flash floods, violent winds and power outages. The US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said in its 7am (12:00 GMT) advisory that Henri was 80km (50 miles) southeast of Montauk Point in New York state. Forecasters downgraded Henri from a hurricane but warned of heavy rainfall and the risk of surging seas as the storm churned in the Atlantic, packing maximum sustained winds of 113kmph (70 miles per hour).
