What happened
The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.
Thunderstorms with torrential downpours caused poor drainage flooding as well as flooding of some of the streams in southwestern Kent County and central Queen Anne's County. Doppler Radar storm total estimates reached nearly five inches around the Tolchester Beach in Kent County and 4 inches around Church Hill in Queen Anne's County. These estimates appear in line based on ground truth reports from surrounding stations. In Queen Anne's County, the torrential rain washed out part of the median on U.S. Route 301 north of Maryland State Route 213. High waters were also reported on Maryland State Route 213 itself south of Centreville. Thunderstorms with heavy rain extended northward into western parts of Cecil County. Storm totals included 2.90 inches in Perryville (Cecil County) and 1.69 inches in Stevensville (Queen Anne's County).
