What's Happening: At 4:06 PM EDT, a severe thunderstorm was located near Milford, about 12 miles north of Georgetown, moving southeast at 10 mph. The storm is capable of 60 mph wind gusts. Damage to roofs, siding, trees, and power lines is possible. Frequent cloud-to-ground lightning and torrential rainfall are occurring with this storm.
Who This Affects:
- Kent, DE
- Sussex, DE
Milford is directly in the path.
What To Do:
- Move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building.
- Get indoors immediately — lightning is one of nature's leading killers. If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck.
- Do not drive through flooded roadways. Torrential rain with this storm may lead to flash flooding.
- Secure loose outdoor items that 60 mph gusts could turn into projectiles.
- Stay away from windows once inside.
Why Now: Radar-indicated severe thunderstorm tracking southeast at 10 mph — a slow storm motion that raises the risk of both wind damage and localized heavy rainfall over the same area.
