Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	A series of thunderstorms that moved through eastern Berks, northern Montgomery, southern Lehigh, western Northampton and Monroe Counties caused poor drainage flooding as well as flash flooding in Northampton and Monroe Counties during the evening of the 28th. Along the heaviest band, event precipitation totals averaged 2 to 4 inches. Runoff from the heavy rain then caused some creek flooding that persisted into the 29th in Montgomery and Northampton Counties. The thunderstorms also caused lightning damage to a home in Northampton County. The heavy rain culminated the wettest September for the state of Pennsylvania dating back to 1895. The 9.71 inch statewide average for the month was more than twice the normal value. It was also the wettest September on record in Allentown (12.99 inches) and the third wettest September on record in Philadelphia (10.27 inches).
