episode_narrativeIn addition to the frequent lightning and some severe weather, the thunderstorms that rumbled through Berks County and the Lehigh Valley brought heavy rain with them as storm totals ranged between 1.5 and 2.75 inches in many places. This was the most widespread rain event in the area since May 23rd and 24th and started to chip away at the drought. Heavy rain fell mainly between 930 p.m. and Midnight EDT. It lingered until around 2 a.m. EDT on the 14th in southern Berks County as a second band of thunderstorms moved through. The rain caused the usual poor drainage flooding problems. In Allentown, 1.56 inches of rain fell within a two hour period between 10 p.m. and midnight EDT. Storm totals included 2.74 inches in Walnutport (Northampton County), 2.25 inches in Bechtelsville (Berks County), 1.88 inches at the Lehigh Valley International Airport, 1.73 inches in Reading (Berks County) and 1.68 inches in Hopewell Village (Berks County) and Easton (Northampton County).
