Falmouth residents brace for impact as Tropical Storm Henri approaches Bay State

FALMOUTH, MASS. (WHDH) - Falmouth residents are bracing for impact as Tropical Storm Henri makes its way toward the Bay State on Sunday.

Wild waves were crashing onto the beach as the surf picked up, moving water up to the lifeguard stands.

At Surf Drive Beach, the wind was blowing around 50 mph, accompanied by pelting rain ahead of high tide.

9:55am Sunday: Trying to talk over the wind AND hold the phone steady as Henri propels gusts 40-50 mph. We now have large breaking waves crashing and spreading water up to the lifeguard stands at Surf Drive Beach. Meanwhile, high tide is less than 2 hours away. #7news #Henri pic.twitter.com/8jpNuOETJK
