| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | One of the hottest and most humid air masses of the summer affected Delaware on the 7th and 8th. Highest temperatures were near 100 degrees in most areas. The 8th was the hottest day. In addition, dew point temperatures, especially on the 8th were as high as the mid to upper 70s. This produced afternoon heat indices as high as 105F to 110F in the state. The largest heat related problem occurred in Dewey and Rehoboth Beach as power was lost up to nine hours. A circuit breaker caught fire during the late afternoon of the 8th and caused a blackout in much of Rehoboth Beach and all of Dewey Beach. Businesses lost hundreds of thousands of dollars because of either spoiled food and or lost business revenues.||Highest temperatures included 100 degrees in Dover (Kent County), Redden (Sussex County), Prime Hook (Sussex County) and Blackbird (New Castle County), 99 degrees in Georgetown (Sussex County) and Sandtown (Kent County) and 97 degrees at the New Castle County Airport. A cold front moved through the area late in the night of the 8th. While there were some high temperatures in the lower 90s on the 9th, humidity levels were much lower. |
