Decision on parade balloons will be day of parade

Eyewitness News
NEW YORK (WABC) -- The Green Goblin couldn't bring down Spiderman, but New York's notorious winds might.

The storm is expected to seriously impact the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

High winds could ground the balloons.

While the decision is still up in the air, officials are bracing themselves to pull the plug

I looked up to the sky while waiting on a bus to my sister's house (Bronx NYC) and thinking, "I wouldn't want to be a Macy's balloon today."

I get to my sister's house and this turned up on the news.
