| episode_narrative | A large swath of moderate to heavy rain with embedded thunderstorms moved across the Delmarva Peninsula during the day on the 22nd. Rainfall totals averaged around half an inch per hour during the thunderstorms and storm totals across Delaware averaged between one and a half and three inches. The combination of the heavy rain and melting snow produced roadway flooding and ponding of water in poor drainage areas. The weight of the snow and rain on area roofs led to interior leaks and one major warehouse collapse. In Dover, a 300 foot by 500 foot section of the Playtex Warehouse collapsed. The warehouse was totaled. Several other Dover businesses closed because of roof safety concerns. Storm totals included 2.46 at the Dover Air Force Base, 1.90 inches in Greenwood (Sussex County), 1.62 inches in Georgetown (Sussex County) and 1.54 inches in Milford (Sussex/Kent County border). The low pressure system responsible for the heavy rain developed along the Gulf Coast States on the 21st and moved northeast into the Tennessee Valley the morning of the 22nd and into Pennsylvania the morning of the 23rd. The strongest surge of warm, unstable air preceding its warm front occurred during the day on the 22nd. |
