Recent downpours have forced people from their homes and closed schools, and forecasters are calling for several more inches of rain in coming days – regardless of what happens with Hurricane Joaquin, which is spinning off the coast.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center says depending on its path, Joaquin could intensify the storms’ damage.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was among the officials urging residents to take precautions, saying: “Our state has seen the damage that extreme weather can cause time and time again.”
