| episode_narrative | A slow moving cold front with a series of low pressure systems moving north along it produced heavy rain on the 8th across southern Delaware. The heaviest rain fell in Sussex County. Storm totals included 2.45 inches in Georgetown, 1.85 inches in Bridgeville and 1.66 inches in Greenwood. Storm totals in Kent and New Castle Counties were around one inch. The heavy rain produced some poor drainage flooding. There was no flooding along the larger streams and rivers. The cold front was in Ohio the morning of the 7th, western Maryland the morning of the 8th and reached the Delmarva Peninsula coastal waters early in the morning on the 9th. While there were periods of rain for a couple of days, the heaviest rain fell during the second half of the day on the 8th. Three quarters of an inch of rain fell within an hour in Georgetown between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. EDT on the 8th. Most of October's precipitation fell during these three days. |
