If you look up the definition of imminent then Henry can actually be justified in his usage of the term. He didn't use immediate, which many often confuse with imminent (probably because of its psychological relationship to a word that often follows it - danger).
So deeming it about to happen, coming or on the way is probably correct in his calculations. However, I am just parsing the language here.
