The wider storm
The broad circulation of what was once Tropical Cyclone Henri spun across eastern New York on Monday, August 23, 2021, producing additional moderate to locally heavy rainfall with Greene County being the hardest hit. Storm total rainfall from Henri spanning August 22nd to 23rd ranged between 4.00 to 7.50 inches across much of Greene County. This additional rainfall on the 23rd led to some incidents of flash flooding across the county.
Greene County was one of the several counties that Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a State of Emergency prior to Henri's arrival. President Joe Biden later approved a pre-landfall disaster declaration.
Began near Kiskatom (42.2051, -73.9732).
