Almost six million people have been under hurricane warnings across New England with another 35 million under tropical storm warnings.<\/p>\n<p>Residents discussed the damaged caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and have been wary of a repeat scenario.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think everyone is thinking of Sandy, um, if you saw what happened to the boardwalk back then and the businesses along the road and the beach,\u201d New York resident Mike Folan expressed. \u201cYou know, there\u2019s a high water mark that\u2019s this high on the ground floor my building, so it\u2019s hard not to think about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Henri?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Henri<\/a> has strengthened to a hurricane and is headed for Long Island and southern New England.

On Friday, Gov. Charlie Baker (R-Mass.) gave an update on the state\u2019s preparations for the recently declared hurricane.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt looks like this storm is going to have a big impact on the commonwealth and we would urge everybody to do everything they can to stay home on Sunday,\u201d Baker explained. \u201cBe mindful of the fact that the high winds and the rain that come with the storm will in fact create issues across the commonwealth and everybody needs to be vigilant and careful about how they handle the back part of this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Baker went on to say preparations are being made for the Camp Edwards military training facility to host utility workers so they can act quickly in restoring power after the storm.<\/p>\n<p>Henri currently has sustained winds of around 75 miles-per-hour. FEMA urged residents to take the storm seriously by saying even if it doesn\u2019t make landfall, heavy winds and storm surges can cause \u201csignificant damage.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/white-house-says-biden-never-shies-away-from-reporters-as-he-continues-to-dodge-questions\/\">White House Says Biden Never Shies Away From Reporters\u2019 As He Continues To Dodge Questions<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This OES-16 East GeoColor satellite image taken Friday, Aug. 20, 2021, at 11:40 a.m. EDT., and provided by NOAA, shows Tropical Storm Henri in the Atlantic Ocean.
