Some celebrity getaways in Rhode Island may be in danger of succumbing to Tropical Storm Henri.
The storm made landfall in the state near Westerly on Sunday, which just so happens to be close to where many stars have lavish mansions. Henri was downgraded to a tropical storm before landfall, as dangerous storm surge, strong gusty winds and flooding rainfall are expected across portions of northeastern United States, according to the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center.

Flood warnings extended from coastal Connecticut and Rhode Island to the luxurious oceanfront estates of New York’s Hamptons, as tropical storm conditions are spreading inland across portions of New England.
A weather-flow station in Block Island, Rhode Island reported a sustained wind of 50 mph and a gust of 63 mph. At Point Judith, Rhode Island, sustained winds measured at 43 mph with a gust to 51 mph.
As average New Englanders prepare to battle flooding and strong winds that threaten their properties, so too do A-list celebrities who have multi-million dollar mansions in the area, particularly along the coastline.
