In the wake of heavy rainfall and flooding, New York Governor Kathy Hochul has declared a state of emergency for the entire state. Many roads and airports have been flooded, causing delays and cancellations for travelers.

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for the entire New York City area, urging residents to stay off the roads and indoors.

Governor Hochul has also called for the activation of the National Guard and urged the public to be patient as emergency crews work to clear the roads and restore power.

The heavy rainfall has also caused rivers to swell, leading to concerns about potential flooding in the coming days.

The New York City Department of Environmental Protection is closely monitoring water levels and has activated its flood management system to prepare for any potential flooding.

The National Weather Service has warned that the worst of the flooding may still be yet to come, urging residents to take precautions.
