1:02Now PlayingTropical Storm Henri slammed into Rhode Island, bringing lashing rain, powerful winds and a deadly surge off the Atlantic.
The storm made landfall near Westerly, Rhode Island, at about 12:30 p.m. local time with top winds of 60 miles (95 kilometers) per hour. It drove a wall of water ashore, flooding the coast line. The region is bracing for widespread power outages as the winds toss trees into transmission lines.
Henri is the latest in a grim parade of extreme weather events worldwide as climate change takes hold. Massive wildfires have blackened huge swaths of California, Greece, Algeria and Siberia, sending smoke over the North Pole for the first time on record. July was the hottest month ever recorded on Earth.
