The heaviest rain fell just west of I-476 in northeast Delaware

radar and automated gauges indicate 4 to 6 inches of rain fell this
morning. Several areas in Chester and Berks County also received 2
to 4 inches of rain.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around...don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as
well as other drainage areas and low lying spots.
