CONWAY — Henri, a tropical storm that as of Friday afternoon was in the Atlantic midway between Bermuda and Florida and tracking north-northwest, could become the first hurricane to hit New England in 30 years.
Local and state officials are urging people to make storm preparations as high winds and rain could cut power.
