Rare flash flood emergency issued in New York as pounding storms devastate communities in Hudson Valley, killing a woman in her mid-30s as she reportedly tried to evacuate from her home with her dog, officials said.
Conditions worsened to the point where the Orange County executive and governor of New York called for a state of emergency. Orange County Exec Steven Neuhaus said that an investigation was underway into the death of a woman in her mid-30s reportedly trying to evacuated from her home with her dog and she was swept away by a flash flood.
One woman who helped neighbors evacuate at her apartment complex said everyone jumped in to help as the first floor filled with water. Video show the utter destruction caused by out of control flooding in Highland Falls, where officials advised residents Sunday afternoon to stay home and avoid travel. Many of the roads, they said, weren't passable.
