The remains of Tropical Depression Henri are drenching the U.S. Northeast with heavy rain, leaving floods and power outages as it makes its way across New England and out to sea.

The storm has saturated the region for two days, bringing record rain to New York City. Central Park got 7.12 inches through Sunday and saw its all-time rainiest hour late Saturday, the National Weather Service said. Minor and moderate flooding was occurring across northern New Jersey and southern New York, with some communities ordering evacuations Sunday.
