Heavy downpours and strong winds pummel NYC and the Tri-State

In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we have the latest on a relentless and dreary line of storms for the second day in a row. In New Jersey, tens of thousands are approaching Wednesday night in the dark. A tree came crashing down onto the roadway on the Saw Mill River Parkway in Westchester County, causing delays for the evening commute. There was a similar scene in Brooklyn where a tree collapsed onto a sidewalk. Wind gusts have reached up to 60 miles per hour.  Flooding is also a big concern. The Passaic River in Little Falls, New Jersey is again at risk of pouring into the streets. It's a terrible night to fly, with hundreds of flights being delayed or canceled at the big three area airports.
