| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Another run of unseasonably hot weather affected Delaware from August 2nd through the 5th. High temperatures reached into the mid 90s each afternoon. The PJM Interconnection Electricity Grid Operator asked for public conservation of electricity. The excessive heat contributed to 10 firefighters being treated for heat exhaustion while battling a house fire in Delaware City (New Castle County) on the 4th. It was 90 degrees when the fire started. The Wilmington Sunday Breakfast Mission was running out of bottled water to distribute to needy people. The heat caused a section of Dover International Speedway's "White Lightning" Monster Mile to buckle. The heat expansion led to a four foot wide crack running 48 feet from the outside wall to the apron on the inside of the track on the back straight-away. A 24 foot by 48 foot section of the track was replaced. The weekend Monster Racing experience was cancelled on August 6th and 7th. A weak cold front moved through Delaware during the night of the 5th and brought temporary relief from the heat and humidity. Highest temperatures included 95 degrees at the New Castle County Airport and Wilmington (New Castle County Airport), 94 degrees in Georgetown and Greenwood (Sussex County) and 93 degrees in Diver (Kent County). |
