What the reports say
Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
Heavy rain fell from about 730 a.m. EDT and 900 a.m. EDT on the morning of the 18th in and around Kent Island. Doppler Radar storm total estimates reached about one inch. But, the heavy rain coincided with the high tide which was higher than normal because of the approaching new moon and an up the bay wind flow. This caused roadway and field flooding around the region. On Kent Island, Thompson Creek Road flooded as did the Thompson Creek Public Landing. At the Kent Narrows, Wharf Drive flooded as did the parking lot of a seafood market. On the Eastern Shore, Winchester Creek flooded some front yards in Grasonville. Standing water was on Main Street in Queenstown. The high tide that morning at Tolchester Beach (Kent County) and Cambridge (Dorchester County) reached 3.50 feet above mean lower low water. That is the level at which minor tidal flooding begins.
