Heavy rain spawned extreme flooding in New York's Hudson Valley that killed at least one person, swamped roadways and forced road closures on Sunday night, as much of the rest of the Northeast U.S. prepared for a major storm.
The state deployed five swift-water rescue teams and a high-axle vehicle to help with rescues in flooded areas. The city's emergency notification system tweeted that the heavy rain could cause"life-threatening flooding to basements" and instructed residents to"prepare now to move to higher ground if needed."
More than 1,000 flights scheduled to fly into or out of Laguardia, John F. Kennedy or Newark airports had been canceled as of Sunday night, according to FlightAware.
