has declared a state of emergency as the city prepares to be dumped with up to seven inches of rain on Friday, in a final blow from Tropical Storm Ophelia.'I am declaring a State of Emergency across New York City, Long Island, and the Hudson Valley due to the extreme rainfall we’re seeing throughout the region,' governor said. 'Please take steps to stay safe and remember to never attempt to travel on flooded roads.' Mayor Eric Adams, who did not address the flooding until late in the morning, told New Yorkers to 'take extreme caution' and stay home, or otherwise shelter in place for now, warning the city could even see 'eight inches of rain before the day is over.'
