PHOTOS: Tropical Storm Leaves Behind Downed Power Lines And Trees, Flooded Coastal Roads

Tropical Storm Henri made landfall in New England on Saturday, leaving downed trees, power outages and flooding in its wake.

It also shuttered several major bridges in Rhode Island, and some roads on the coast became nearly impassable.

Here are some photos of the damage caused by the tropical storm from around the region:
