At midnight, Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul will become governor. She is smart and competent, and I believe she will step up to the challenge. I wish her every success.

We didn't get everything done that we wanted to and we didn't always get it quite right. But I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that every day, I worked my hardest. I gave it my all, and I tried my best, to deliver for you.

It has been a deep honor to serve as the 56th Governor of the State of New York. From Marriage Equality to the $15 Minimum Wage, from Paid Family Leave to the NY SAFE Act, from investing in infrastructure to fighting COVID—together we have done what no one thought could be done.

Remember: The path of a storm is NOT the same as the area of impact. While #Henri's path has swung east toward Montauk Point, the affected area is still large. Up to 5 inches of additional rainfall is expected, and flooding remains a serious risk. Stay safe & exercise caution.

#Henri is currently a Category 1 hurricane—meaning sustained winds of about 80 mph. It could also bring a storm surge of three to six feet. Superstorm Sandy was also a Category 1 when it hit NY. Take this seriously. Prepare for the worst—Hope for the best.

If you live in an area expected to be seriously affected by Hurricane #Henri, don’t wait until tomorrow to prepare. Prepare TODAY.
