The storm that has hit New York will become “much worse,” authorities warned state residents.

According to the New York Post, the storm has already claimed lives in the state—a Brooklyn resident was killed after a tree fell.

More than 70,000 homes also remain without power. Some areas will be hit by heavy downpours in the near future, and authorities advised residents not to stay in basements.

The storm disrupted many people’s weekend plans, canceling the Global Citizens Festival concert in Central Park, which was expected to draw 60,000 people, as well as The All Things Go Festival at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens. Ed Sheeran canceled his weekend concerts in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

❗️On September 26, a state of emergency was declared in New York because of the approaching storm, state Governor Kathy Hochul said.
