Many Hudson Valley residents have started to hit the trails more than ever since the coronavirus outbreak. Mountains and trails have become a popular local destination for outdoor exercise.

The latest tropical storm has caused a lot of issues throughout the Hudson Valley. Several roads are closed or delayed thousands of residents are without power or internet.
