The National Weather Service announced Saturday evening that Typhoon Hurricane Hurricane Henry is expected to make landfall.

“I declared a state of emergency before Hurricane Henry,” he declared to the electorate, as 500 National Guard soldiers mobilized in support of efforts to respond to the storm. “Be prepared for heavy rain, strong winds and power outages,” Andrew Cuomo told residents in vulnerable areas in New York State. The country’s cultural and economic capital still has in mind the painful memory of Hurricane Sandy that killed 44 people in 2012.
