Governor Kathy Hochul warned New Yorkers to stay off the roads Sunday as the latest summer storm rolled in, causing flash flooding.
Hochul stood in her Midtown office on July 16 as rain hammered the streets outside. There, she implored the public to heed her warnings as the storm caused flooding upstate and property damage across the five boroughs.
“Mother Nature is not quite done with us yet. Just minutes ago, the National Weather Service upgraded the flood watch to a flood warning which is far more serious for the immediate vicinity of the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Nassau and Westchester counties that has an effect till 4 p.m. today but as a likelihood of being extended beyond that,” Hochul said.
