| episode_narrative | The remnants of Hurricane Dennis moved across the Washington D.C. area from late on the 4th through midday on the 6th. Its legacy included periods of heavy rain, minor street flooding, wind gusts to 35 MPH, and minor tidal flooding along the Potomac River. Washington Reagan National Airport received a storm total of 2.31 inches of rain. In Northwest Washington, DuPont Circle reported a total of 2.51 inches. Scattered power outages occurred when winds of up to 35 MPH downed tree limbs which then fell onto power lines. The storm surge from Hurricane Dennis along with persistent southeast winds made tide levels 2 to 3 above normal on the 5th and 6th. On the 5th, officials put up a flood wall along the river to protect Washington Harbor. River levels reached as high as 6.5 feet at the Wisconsin Avenue gauge during the early morning and late afternoon both days. Flooding was reported at Hains Point and in Georgetown during high tide. Flood stage is 7 feet at Wisconsin Avenue, but some low lying areas report flooding at a stage of 5 feet. |
