| episode_narrative | Rain overspread Eastern Pennsylvania during the late morning and early afternoon on the 8th preceding a low pressure system's warm front. The heaviest rain in Southeast Pennsylvania fell during the late afternoon and evening on the 8th and mainly during the morning of the 9th in the Lehigh Valley, Berks County and the Poconos. Scattered pockets of heavier rain also fell during the evening of the 9th from Berks County northeast through the Poconos. Storm totals averaged between 1.5 and 2.0 inches, except they exceeded 3 inches in Monroe County. This caused some urban and poor drainage flooding, but was not heavy enough to push any major streams or rivers over their banks. The heavy rain contributed to a major crash in Chester County the afternoon of the 8th. A volunteer fire fighter was killed and ten others were injured when a braking tractor trailer flipped on its side and plowed into a group of emergency rescue workers at an accident site on the Pennsylvania Turnpike about two miles west of Downingtown.Storm precipitation totals included 3.29 inches in Tobyhanna (Monroe County), 2.90 inches in Mount Pocono (Monroe County), 2.79 inches in Long Pond (Monroe County), 2.20 inches in Phoenixville (Chester County), 2.09 inches in Lehighton (Carbon County), 2.08 inches in Hamburg (Berks County), 2.05 inches in Easton (Northampton County) and East Stroudsburg (Monroe County), 2.00 inches in Green Lane (Montgomery County), 1.93 inches at the Lehigh Valley International Airport, 1.91 inches in Glenmoore (Chester County), 1.88 inches in Springtown (Bucks County), 1.44 inches in Valley Forge (Montgomery County), 1.37 inches in Neshaminy Falls (Bucks County), 1.34 inches at the Willow Grove NAS, 1.31 inches in Crum Creek (Delaware County) and 1.1 inches at the Philadelphia International Airport. |
