episode_narrativeA slow moving low pressure system moved from the central Ohio Valley the morning of the 12th to Williamsburg Virginia the morning of the 13th, to about 100 miles east of Fenwick Island Delaware the morning of the 14th and then drifted southeast and was about 275 miles southeast of Fenwick Island Delaware the morning of the 15th. This produced about 48 hours of continuous rain from the evening of the 12th through the evening of the 14th. Rain was heavy at times during the night of the 13th and the morning of the 14th. Storm totals averaged around three inches. Since the rain was spread over an extended period of time, flooding was confined to only the usual poor drainage and low-lying areas. Stream and river flooding occurred farther north in New Castle County. Rainfall totals included 4.61 inches in Lewes, 3.5 inches in Dover, 2.91 inches in Georgetown, and 2.57 inches in Bridgeville.
