| episode_narrative | An unseasonably warm air mass and an intense low pressure system and cold front not only set the stage for an extremely windy day, but also produced heavy rain and flooding across Kent and New Castle Counties in Delaware. A series of showers and thunderstorms with heavy downpours moved across the region during the first half of the 17th. The heaviest rain fell across northwestern New Castle County and forced several major streams and rivers in the county above bankfull. At least six major roads in New Castle County were closed due to flooding including Delaware State Route 9 in Dobbinsville. There were nine water rescues from vehicles stuck in high water as they tried to cross flooded roadways. One vehicle was seen floating down Mill Creek in Hockessin. The Christina River at Coochs Bridge was above its 9 foot flood stage from 645 a.m. EST through 6 p.m. EST on the 17th. It crested at 12.53 feet at Noon EST. The White Clay Creek near Newark reached its 13 foot flood stage at 9.am. EST on the 17th, crested at 14.58 feet at 1230 p.m. EST and was back within bankfull at 630 p.m. EST on the 17th. The Red Clay Creek at Stanton was above its 15 foot flood stage from 11 a.m. EST through 6 p.m. EST on the 17th.
