inches per hour in some areas. you can't see through that if are you driving, it's moving out quickly but that shows how intense the rainfall is. the reason judge, the dew points are in the 70s. any storm can pull down a lot of rain it a short period of time. philadelphia 93 degrees, and dover 95 and millville 90 and atlantic city airport 93 and allentown and trenton 91 degrees, and you factor
