episode_narrativeA very slow moving coastal storm which was fed tropical moisture by the circulation around Hurricane Lily produced very heavy rains (up to 19 inches along the coast) and persistant strong onshore winds. Coastal storm surges, combined with runoff, caused coastal flooding at and near the times of high tide on the 20 th and 21st. The worst flooding occurred in northeastern coastal York County where whole communities were submerged in several feet of water. Ocean Park was particularly hard hit with many citizens evacuated by boat to emergency shelters.
