Record Deluge in Philly and South Jersey
An
extraordinary deluge struck Philadelphia and adjacent areas across the
river in southern New Jersey on Sunday. Here are some images from social
media:

Philadelphia International Airport recorded 8.02 inches of rain, most of which fell in just four and a half hours Sunday afternoon, smashing an all-time one-day record of 6.63" set during Hurricane Floyd on Sept. 16, 1999. Detailed records for Philly date to 1872. The radar rainfall estimate below from the National Weather Service - Mount Holly, N.J. shows how localized the deluge was. The Northeast Philadelphia Airport only managed 0.64 inches of rain. So, while this goes down as a record, only parts of the Philly metro were affected.

The record-shattering rainfall was even more impressive considering the Hurricane Floyd record took 20 hours of rainfall to add up, whereas this storm unleashed greater rainfall in much less time.
