LODI, N.Y. -- A curfew has been issued for roadways in Seneca County flooded earlier Tuesday, according to New York State Police.
The curfew is in effect from 7:30 p.m. until 6 a.m. on Wednesday and includes Lodi Point, Shaw, Lower Lake and Porter Covert roads in the villages of Interlaken and Ovid as well as the Town of Lodi, officials said.
A state of emergency issued for Seneca County will stay in effect until Aug. 21, officials said. Gov.

Despite a state of emergency being issued, there is no mandatory evacuation for the area, officials said.
