For the second day in a row, heavy rain and flooding slammed the region.
A flash flood warning was issued for East Central Delaware County, Southwestern Philadelphia County, Camden County and Northwestern Gloucester County and lasted until 8:15 p.m.
According to officials, heavy rain fell nearly 2 inches an hour in the affected areas.
In Philly, a heavy downpour led to low visibility and a slow commute for drivers. Citizens Bank Park could barely be seen from our camera. The I-95 northbound ramp to Broad Street was also closed around 6 p.m. due to flooding.
Excessive runoff from the rain caused flooding at small creeks and streams as well as highways, streets and underpasses.
A flash flood warning was also in effect until 5:30 p.m. in Northern New Castle County, Delaware. DelDOT officials reported flooding in portions of I-95 in the Wilmington area, especially near Churchmans Road.
Officials also measured 1.6 inches of rain in less than an hour at the Wilmington Airport.
