episode_narrativeA soaking rain put a dent into the summer drought. The precipitation was caused by a low pressure area moving up the eastern seaboard. Rainfall across central and eastern Maryland ranged from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches. A daily precipitation record was set a BWI; 2.75 inches of rain fell. Washington/National Airport (DCA) recorded over 2 inches as well.Two large sink holes opened up near Annapolis, a result of the combination of the heavy rain and recent sewer construction at a nearby neighborhood. High water blocked a couple of sections of Defense Highway outside of Annapolis. Several other roads in Anne Arundel Co reported high water, but were not closed.The rain and accompanying gusty winds caused scattered power outages, including 6,000 in the Potomac Electric Power Co. service area.
