The last remnants of Tropical Storm Elsa roared into the tri-state area overnight, triggering a series of tornado warnings for parts of New Jersey and wreaking flash flood havoc in New York City with record rainfall into Friday morning. By noon Friday, when the bulk of the tropical storm moved on, tens of thousands were left without power and flooding had closed too many roads to count. The New York City area was enjoying a brief respite from the rain before another round of scattered thunderstorms was forecasted to hit later in the afternoon. Between Elsa and severe storms that rolled through Thursday, parts of the tri-state got a month's worth of rain in just 24 hours. #News4Now #NBC4NY
