| episode_narrative | A low pressure system that formed off the Carolina coast on the 6th meandered slowly northeast into the 10th before it started to retrograde toward the Delaware and New Jersey coasts the night of the 10th. A weak onshore flow persisted for much of the week, but intensified as the low pressure system moved into Delaware Bay and made landfall in Delaware during the morning of the 11th. The low pressure system slowly weakened as it moved into the Delaware River Valley later on the 11th into the 12th. ||The pressure gradient (difference) caused by a high pressure system over eastern New England and the Canadian Maritimes and the low pressure produced the strongest northeast winds, the highest tides and roughest surf during the first half of the day on the 11th. Because this event occurred during the neap lunar tide cycle, tidal flooding was just minor as beach erosion due to the large wave action had the highest impact along coastal areas. Peak wind gusts reached between 40 and 60 mph across the state with the highest gusts in Sussex County. The combination of the persistent winds and heavy rain caused several trees, tree limbs and wires to be knocked down across the state. ||The strong to high winds caused power outages across the state and about 1,000 homes and businesses were still without power on the evening of the 11th. In Bear (New Castle County), the strong winds damaged a pool.||Pockets of minor tidal flooding occurred during the mid day high tide on the 10th and again with the overnight high tide early on the 11th. Some overwashes occurred in Kitts Hummock (Kent County), off of Cedar Road in Slaughter Beach (Sussex County) and near the Indian River Inlet Bridge (Sussex County). Some beach erosion was reported and sand fencing was knocked down or washed away in Dewey Beach, Bethany and South Bethany. ||Peak wind gusts included 60 mph at Breakwater Harbor (Sussex County), 56 mph in Lewes (Sussex County), 46 mph in Sandtown (Kent County), 43 mph in Delaware City (New Castle County), 40 mph in Dover (Kent County) and 38 mph at the New Castle County Airport. |
