| episode_narrative | Another northeaster brought heavy rain and strong winds to Delaware on the 23rd and 24th. The onshore flow also brought some minor tidal flooding during the time of high tide the morning of the 24th. Since this northeaster moved rapidly, it was only a one tide cycle event and no major damage was reported. Rain overspread Delaware the morning of the 23rd and became heavy during the afternoon and early evening. While rain lingered well into the 24th, it was not as heavy. Enough heavy rain fell to cause flooding along the Christina River in New Castle County during the evening of the 23rd. The Christina River at Coochs Bridge was above its 9 foot flood stage from about 815 p.m. EST to midnight EST. It crested at 9.6 feet at 10 p.m. EST on the 23rd. The heavy rain caused the usual urban and poor drainage flooding, no other serious flooding was reported. The counterclockwise circulation around the northeaster produced wind gusts as strong as 40 to 50 mph during the afternoon and evening of the 23rd. No serious damage or injuries were reported.Storm totals included 2.57 inches in Dover (Kent County), 2.30 inches in Lewes (Sussex County), 2.00 inches in Bridgeville (Sussex County), 1.92 inches in Odessa (New Castle County), 1.80 inches in Georgetown (Sussex County), 1.50 inches in Newark (New Castle County) and 1.39 inches at the New Castle County Airport.
