Tropical Storm Henri: What To Know In Coventry

COVENTRY, RI — Tropical Storm Henri carved a path across Rhode Island Sunday, leaving thousands without power and streets flooded along the coast. In Coventry, about half of the town's residents lost power, while several roads were partially or fully closed by downed trees, wires and other debris.

The town's Public Works Department encouraged residents with Monday pickup to avoid putting their trash and recycling carts out at the curb for pickup until the morning, to keep carts from blowing around overnight. Trash pickup begins at 7 a.m.

As of 2 p.m., approximately 7,700 Coventry residents were without power, 48 percent of the town's 16,000 residents, town officials said.

The town received more than 50 calls for tree on electrical wires and wires and transformers on the road, the town said, and "many roads" were partially blocked.

As of the afternoon update, the following roads were completely impassable:

• BlackRock Road, in the areas of Routes 292 and 320
• Nelson Capwell Road
• Waterman Hill Road at Tillinghast Road
• Town Farm Road, from the 117 End and the Maple Valley End
• Isack Fiske Number 5 & Lionel Pierson
