Not weather for 2023," Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano said."A lot of cars stuck in the water today with people trapped," Kelly said. "We made a lot of water rescues." Neighbors say they've been begging elected leaders for help to come up with solutions, and many residents have been taking matters into their own hands.
