brian llenas has more from connecticut? we are really feeling it over the last couple hours in connecticut, the southeastern portion of the statement you can see the white caps on the connecticut river, the wind really picking up. we're seeing 45 to 60-mile-an-hour winds in the area from tropical storm henri. now, if you look over to the left over here, we've got the boats and the yacht that's tied up over here, they've been tied up all morning and they've been seemingly doing their job, we haven't seen the boats move too far from where they are. you look at the hurricane flag, the american flag, you can get a sense of the wind gusts here. we're seeing gusts up to about 50 miles an hour here in the area of southeastern connecticut. we're 35 miles i would say west of where this tropical storm is likely going to be making landfall between rhode island and connecticut. the big concern here right now is all this water that you're seeing and that's the reason -- the reason is, that tropical system fred dropped a ton of rain befo

now it moves west into connecticut. you have groten, connecticut. brian todd is there managing the situation. been landfall for a while. what are you seeing? >> reporter: you mentioned it's confusing in the storm and the way it's tracking. right now this is a crucial juncture in the storm. we've already gotten hit with one band. we're expecting another band to come soon. the tides and the storm surges are critical here. high tide was an few hours ago this morning. there's going to be another high tide in about eight hours from now. storm surge about 3 to 5 feet. that's crucial. you can see powerful storm surge behind me. this is the point where the river intersects with long island sound. a lot of bodies of water in low lying areas. i'll show you one of them here in grotten, connecticut. we will pan over there. this neighborhood over here was ordered to be evacuated. mandatory evacuation for shore avenue in grotten and adjacent neighborhood. you can't pull people out, but they had police knocking on doors, asking people to get to higher ground or an

most of those who have lost power are in rhode island and in connecticut.ory -- we lad the governor of rhode island on not long ago. block island is a part of rhode island. it's right off the tip of the southern fork of long island, but it's rhode island, part of that state. it's 10, 12 nautical miles off montauk, the eastern most point of the south fork of long island. they got hit pretty solidly by this storm. very small population, 1,000, 2,000 people in season. we'll see what stories come out of there. now the storm is making landfall in connecticut, new london you'll hear about gusts, 40, 50 miles an hour. in terms of here -- dave, do me a favor. pull out and show this. you'll see the counterclockwise movement of the clouds. that is an outer band of this storm. is it making landfall? depends on how you want to define it. we'll bring in ken graham from the national hurricane center. this is starting to make landfalls, ken. this is the southwest edge of the hurricane, best place to be. it's the northwest eastern part going newport, rhode island, connecti

brian todd is in new london, connecticut, with more on that. >> reporter: here, in new london, connecticutthe thames river, there are some low-lying areas so there is real concern about storm surge, about flooding in these two towns. lot of water around here. you have got the thames river right behind me. you have got long island sound just south of that. that's where these two bodies of water converge and again, some low-lying areas. a lot of neighborhoods in these areas could be vulnerable to storm surge and flooding. i just talked to the mayor. he has ordered mandatory evacuations in at least two neighborhoods covering about 40 homes so that covers at least 80 to 100 people. not everybody has taken him up on that. of course, mandatory evacuations mean they strongly suggest you get out of your home but they do not require it. they cannot force you out of your home. but they are trying to get some people in low-lying neighborhoods to evacuate. we did speak to a couple of them. a lot of them are saying that they're not going to get out because they're concerned about their pets. they are c

states of emergency have been declared in new york, connecticut, and rhode island.f utility workers from the u.s. and canada have now been prepositioned to respond to the expected power outages. i want to go back to tyler mauldin who's tracking the storm and just give us a sense of where it's headed right now? >> it's heading new dorth at 21 miles an hour. it's moving really quickly. it's roughly 150 to 175 miles to the south of rhode island right now. it is going approach very quickly, and it's going to spread all these thunderstorms across the region as we go through this morning and on into the afternoon. future radar, we'll begin feeling the outer bands by the time the sun starts to come up this morning. then once we get later on into the morning, the intensity starts to really pick up. and then we're looking at landfall come early afternoon. and i want you to pick up on how a lot of new york and connecticut and massachusetts, they just continue to see rainfall for hours and hours and hours. that means we could see the potential for flooding on this track. so it

connecticut will be the concern for additional power outages. this is one of our computers that shows us where the storm will be and the heaviest rain. northern new jersey and areas of the catskills, tremendous amounts of rainfall far from the center expected this afternoon, this evening. if we're going to get any significant damage to any towns that are on streams or small rivers, then it weakens. and then it travels through connecticut as we go throughout the day today. by tomorrow morning this storm is all the way up in southern new hampshire and drifts through areas of vermont, new hampshire and through maine. the biggest concern is flooding, 36 million people are included. it's already rained really hard around new york city, additional rain. we avoided a lot of tree damage and power outages. it still could be a devastating storm. >> flooding is an issue. let me ask you about the speed with which henri is traveling. yesterday a lot of concern it was going to be a slow moving lingering seemingly incessant rainfall. has it picked up speed, an

now, we still have a hurricane warning in effect for long island, connecticut. all of connecticut and rhode island is under some sort of warning, whether it's a tropical storm warning or a hurricane warning. new york city is under a tropical storm warning. nantucket is also under a tropical storm warning. we expect conditions to go downhill quickly after midnight, especially the closer we get to daybreak. once we get to 2:00 in the afternoon, this thing comes ashore as either a strong tropical storm or a low end category 1 hurricane. notice the track here. this is with the 11:00 p.m. update, so this is new. they've shifted the track a little bit to the east. it looks like instead of a direct hit on the eastern edge of long island, we're now looking at possibly a direct landfall right on the border, right on the line of connecticut and rhode island. so that's an update here, with the 11:00 p.m. update from the national hurricane center. again, that will be a strong tropical storm or a low end category 1. once it makes landfall tomorrow afternoon, it's going to me

they're batters portion of connecticut as well. i want to bring in the public safety communication spokesperson. >> thank you. >> connecticut was worried about what would happen, obviously making landfall in westerly, rhode island. how are folks dealing? >> right now the state is working hard to make sure our residents know we are here for them at the state eoc, here with resources needed before, during, even after the storm. >> have you heard of any damages lately? >> currently about 30,000 outages around the state, but not to worry they are there. ready to go. >> damages not so much, some trees down. pretty much the power outages, and 9 heavy rainfall is what we're dealing with so far. >> chevy, thanks so much for joining us. appreciate it, good luck. >>> we're continues to take a look. henri made landfall just hours ago. twist for updates as they happen. the president is scheduled to make remarks on henri, and the response, of course, when it comes to afghanistan. that is expected to begin at 4:00 p.m. eastern. we'll have a prev

not surprisingly, this past school year at westside middle school academy in danbury, connecticut wasit different. the students only started coming to in-person classes in january. aneven then, it was part-time. and darragh, like every other educator in america, had to change the way he did things. social distance measures meant no lunch bunch meetings with the sixth graders, no drop-in visits to his office from the seventh graders, and the annual eighth grade trip was cancelled. for a counselor who was recently named "connecticut school counselor of the year," such restrictions were minor compared to other challenges. >> it was really hard as a counselor to read emotions through a mask. u know, it would have to kind of like see the kids, his eyes and like, "are you crying? are you happy?"

we have flash flood warnings along i-95 through southern portions of connecticut. here is the estimated rainfall total. we still think it will come throughout the day today and tonight. three to six inches. one thing we haven't talked a lot about is storm surge. every single location i found, the water is going down. whatever damage was done which we haven't seen much, that's it. storm surge is not really an issue with this storm. even for tonight's high tide cycle. by 9:00 p.m. the storm is so weak in massachusetts, that won't be a problem. that's great. we can eliminate that portion. >> this is a live picture from cape cod. you see the surge, heavy surf is really all you need to call it now. it's not approaching too close to those homes that are beach front properties. the winds that are circling back around again. she looks like she was getting a sand facial. how long will that last in long island? >> they'll have gusts up to 30, 40 miles an hour right through the afternoon. the wind was blowing the waves and the water out to see, not inland. that helped with th

a state of emergency has been declared in new york and connecticut. cnn's allison chinchar is tracking this in the weather center. is it moving at all? >> let's take a look at where it is right now. just about 200 or so miles east of north carolina. sustained winds are 75 miles per hour gusting up to 90. that forward movement pushing it to the north-northeast at 17 miles per hour. now, the ewe did start to see some of the watches and warnings expand a bit. you can see the tropical storm warnings in blue. hurricane warnings are in red, including new haven, islip, and montauk. the track still expected to basically move north until just a few hours before landfall. we expect a slight shift off to the west. that's why we figure at this point the best landfall location still likely to be long island. timingwise we're looking at lunchtime on sunday. it will move farther inland before making a sharp turn to the east, going back out over open water. there you the evening hours tonight, really some of those outer bands will mostly impact areas of new york city

in connecticut, the application is basically by telephone. am working with an entity called access agency. it is a nonprofit, or a not-for-profit agency. there is no paper backup. it is very, very frustrating because i want to pay my back rent. additionally, in february when i got covid and i got my shots shortly after that, i kept getting notice from the landlord. i saved all the paperwork. in connecticut, they don't accept paper applications. host: ok, tom. we will let our guests respond toguest: that is an interesting situation. in terms of the process itself, this is one of the things we have been you have that flexibility here for application. not everybody has the same access to resources in terms of computers or whatever it might be to do? -only processing. -- to do digital-only processing. i'm hoping that is just a bad communication to the community in terms of how you apply. i can't speak to how the housing provider is not communicating with you. there could be any number of reasons for that. we are encouraging our members and provid

now, we still have a hurricane warning in effect for long island, connecticut. all of connecticut

it is pretty good expectation we will go over long island and then into connecticut. this is what it looks like on satellite. where you see the red colors those are the high clouds, the thunderstorms. it is not organized when you see it on satellite but still a category 1 storm. we are looking at winds of 75 miles per hour. it is going through really -- it is going through an area it that it likes so it has low shear, warm waters so we it expect to maintain category 1 status. it is moving north/northeast at 17 miles per hour, so moving pretty quickly right now. that is going to change drastically as we head toward z sunday and monday. it will slow down drastically. i put a couple of pause pins on here because i want to show you what we expect with this. the national hurricane center expects it to go over the eastern part of long island as a category 1 storm. that would be either the early part of sunday or around 11:00, noon on sunday. then it will make a second landfall into connecticut, roland island, somewhere there. a little bit after that as a tropical storm. eit

to try to address the gaps that exist and outcomes for students when i was the commissioner in connecticuthat was a focus of mine and we had to make sure that when we build back better we are not going back to the system of march 2020 where it was almost predictable. that is unacceptable. we should have a high level of outrage that has gone on that long. so, what it translates to is when we reopen our schools we are given an opportunity to have highly qualified teachers getting the curriculum having opportunities for the courses that lead to college access or career options. we make sure students have access to universal prekindergarten community college. so, going back to the system that we had in march of 2020 is insufficient. we do have to build back better and we have to do it with strategies that we know will work. early childhood education, community college, high levels, those are ingredients to raise the bar. >> i keep scribbling notes as you are talking. if you keep catching me looking back at my paper it's like i'm back in school. on universal pre-k which i know a lot of educatio

central and eastern long island, parts of connecticut. elsewhere in orange, we have tropical storm warnings. we're still watching the rhode island areas. the storm itself, 70 miles per hour winds. moving north, northeast, into warmer water, it will likely strengthen to a category one hurricane. then going into tomorrow, around 2:00, 1:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m., you could see landfall. perhaps on long island. somewhere in this area. then it will weaken into a tropical storm. then it will unfortunately slow down and produce a lot of potential for flooding rain across most of southern new england and make its way further north. let's talk about rain first. this is an issue. july was one of the wettest months for several areas of the northeast. add to that 5 to 10 inches of rain. we could see considerable flash flooding as an issue across the northeast. as for coastal areas, three to five foot storm surge includes parts of long island, parts of southeastern massachusetts. that would be the water pushed on shore. good news, with earlier arrival of th

hurricane warning for long island, connecticut, rhode island.opical storm warning. we're feeling impacts even though the system is way down to the south. however, it's going to quickly approach, and here's the timing with our future satellite radar image. we really begin feeling the strong bands push into massachusetts, rhode island by the time we get to 4:00 in the morning tomorrow, or this morning, actually, 4:00 a.m. sunday. and it continues to push to the north, eventually makes landfall once we get to 2:00 in the afternoon. notice that new york continues to get socked by really heavy rainfall. we have already picked up multiple inches. and henri isn't even close yet. we'll continue to add to those totals. in fact, pretty much all of new england will continue to pick up really heavy rainfall. in addition, we have a full moon, so we have astronomical high tides, which is higher than normal tides because of the moon. then henri's approach is going to coincide with the regular high tide. for that reason we have storm surge warnings up for prett
