    ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a statewide State of Emergency after severe storms struck New York on Tuesday. High winds caused severe damage, including downed trees and wires and possible tornadoes.

    Central New York and the Mohawk Valley were hardest hit. The city of Rome and areas of Madison County saw widespread damage as well as a fatality.

    Under the State of Emergency, state agencies are on standby to help localities with restoring power, clearing debris, and road closures. The NYS Emergency Operations Center to Enhanced Monitoring Mode has also been activated to track storms in real-time and support local governments’ requests for assistance.
