episode_narrativeTropical Storm Bertha passed through Delaware and Eastern New Jersey the morning of the 13th. The strongest winds remained near the shore, but wind gusts reached around 40 mph during the predawn and morning hours of the 13th and took some tree limbs and weak trees down. Public Service Electric and Gas reported 55,000 homes lost power; 17,000 in Burlington and Camden Counties. Storm totals averaged between 2 and 4 inches, but most mainstem rivers remained within bankfull except for the Cooper River in Camden County and the Rockaway River in Morris County. Since most of the rain fell during a twelve to eighteen hour period and not a shorter duration, there was some urban and poor drainage flooding, but no other major problems. No serious injuries, water rescues or damage was reported. Storm totals included 3.79 inches in Oak Ridge (Morris County), 3.43 inches in Belvidere (Warren County), 3.04 inches in Pottersville (Somerset County), 3.01 inches in Mount Holly (Burlington County), 2.88 inches in Somerdale (Camden County) and 2.86 inches in Hackettstown (Warren County).
