"Devastating Flooding Hits Canandaigua and Ontario County, State of Emergency Declared"

Heavy rain in Canandaigua, New York, caused considerable damage, including a collapsed home. Governor Kathy Hochul described the situation as an "evolving event" and emphasized the need to ensure the safety of roads and bridges. Basements in flooded buildings have been compromised, and emergency responders have been rescuing people trapped in their homes and cars. While no deaths have been reported locally, the storm in the Hudson Valley resulted in extensive damage and the tragic drowning of a woman. Hochul has reached out to FEMA and other officials for financial assistance.
