The tragic weather developments unfolded so rapidly that one woman who helped neighbors evacuate at her apartment complex said everyone jumped in to help as the first floor filled with water. According to Hochul, the severe weather over the weekend stranded passengers on Amtrak trains, stranded more than 700 people in Putnam County Sunday night."
According to the governor's office, around 5,500 people in upstate are still without power as of Monday morning, with Orange and Ontario counties remaining under a state of emergency.
