Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn area of high pressure on the 18th was off the Mid Atlantic coast, while a cold front was well off to the west. In between these two systems was a surface trough, which helped to focus showers and thunderstorms within a warm and humid air mass. The thunderstorms, some severe, marched across the region during the evening hours. The combination of high winds and lightning caused about 27,500 homes and businesses to lose power in Berks County and southeastern Pennsylvania. Power was not fully restored until the 20th.
