(AP) Heavy rain has spawned extreme flooding in New York’s Hudson Valley, killing at least one person and forcing road closures.

The flooding came Sunday night as much of the rest of the Northeast U.S. prepared for a major storm. Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus told WABC-TV that rescue teams found the body of a woman in her 30s who drowned after being swept away while trying to evacuate her home.

Two other people escaped. Officials say the storm has already wrought tens of millions of dollars in damage.

Forecasters say intense rain may be especially strong Monday in northeastern New York and Vermont.
