| episode_narrative | An intense northeaster pounded the Maryland Eastern Shore with heavy rain, strong winds and some minor tidal flooding on the 28th. The low pressure system was in the Gulf Coast States the morning of the 26th and moved to near Savannah, Georgia the morning of the 27th. The low intensified as it moved very slowly north along the Atlantic Coast during the day and the night of the 27th. At 7 a.m. EST on the 28th, the northeaster was located near Virginia Beach, Virginia and then moved eastnortheast during the day. By the next morning, it was about 450 miles east of the southern New Jersey coast.Heavy rain moved into the southern part of the Maryland Eastern Shore shortly after midnight on the 28th and continued through the early afternoon. By 130 p.m. EST, 2.40 inches of rain fell in Preston in Caroline County. In Talbot County, several roads had considerable flooding and a culvert was washed out from another roadway. Storm totals ranged from around 1 inch in Cecil County to around 3.5 inches in southern parts of Caroline and Talbot Counties. The storm total in Federalsburg was 3.4 inches. The heavy rain and the strong onshore flow in the lower part of Chesapeake Bay helped combine to produce some minor tidal flooding at the times of high tide on the 28th. In Talbot County, bay flooding in some yards was reported in Oxford. Also in Oxford, one lane of Maryland State Route 333 was totally submerged near the causeway. Field flooding was reported in Saint Michaels and on Tilghman Island.Strong winds increased during the day on the 28th and became their strongest between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. EST. Peak gusts reached between 45 and 55 mph. The strong winds and heavy rain were able to push over some weak trees and power lines across the Eastern Shore. In Caroline County most roads were littered with tree limbs. A peak wind gust of 47 mph was recorded in Preston. There were downed trees and morning power outages in Talbot County. In Queen Anne's County, the wind restriction halted high profile traffic on the William Preston Lane Memorial Bridge from 421 a.m. EST on the 28th. The peak wind gust on the bridge was 56 mph. About 100 homes lost power from downed trees and lines during a five hour period at the height of the storm. Trees had to be removed from several main roads. In Kent County, power outages occurred in Chestertown and Millington. Downed power lines cluttered Maryland State Route 291. In all about 1,000 Eastern Shore residents lost power. But, no major injuries were reported. |
