Matthew, Maybe.................Maybe Not,

A Message from Sentry Management: 

Please see the below weather update regarding Hurricane Matthew.  While it is still way too early to predict exactly what track this storm will take, we feel it is the best interest of all of you to begin to put information out regarding this storm.  Those of you that are weekender’s, it is a good idea to start making your storm preparations now in the event you cannot make it back to your home prior to any storm impacts. 

We recommend you do the following:

• Place any furniture on your balcony or patio inside or secure it to something.
• Those of you with boats should also double up your lines to ensure they stay in place. 
• Any loose items in your yard should also be stored.
• Grill covers should be either secured tightly or removed entirely. 
• Trash cans should be stored. 

As we receive additional information we will be sure to pass it along to all of you.

Major Weather Event:

The NOAA National Hurricane Center is tracking a Tropical Storm “Matthew” presently  located south of the Dominican Republic.  The NOAA models, as well as the European Model; indicate that the storm will begin to turn north on Sunday, Oct 2^nd.  Then move over the Bahamas toward Florida.  At this point the storm is predicted to become a Category II hurricane ( sustained winds 96 – 110 mph and storm surge of 6’ to 8’ ).  The models indicate that the hurricane would move along the east coast passing just off Cape Hatterus, NC on or about Wednesday, Oct 5^th.  There are a number of factors that would affect the path of the storm including a cold front moving in from the west.  However, if the storm continues along the forecast track, Matthew would begin to affect the Delmarva on or about Thursday, Oct 6^th .  The wind field with this level of storm would bring tropical force winds into most of the Eastern Shore (60 + mph in gusts).  Heavy rainfall (3” – 5” ) can be expected and could include the western shore – D.C. &  Baltimore,  Mid- Atlantic region.  As the track becomes more defined, additional notices will be sent.  Stay tuned to your local news outlet as time progresses.

LED Street Lamps replaced, September, 2016

New Lights installed.
Eleven lights have been replaced with a different brand of LED lamps.

Multiple lights have failed throughout Deep Harbour. Given the number of failures, the manufacturer has refused to replace the lamps claiming that the problem is unique to our site.

The new bulbs have been installed around the property in strategic places.  As a preventative measure, all have been installed with a surge protectors. 

LED bulbs use a fraction of electricity compared with Incandescent, Halogen, and Compact Fluorescent bulbs.  Compared to a conventional incandescent bulb, LED's use only 15% of the electricity to produce the same amount of light.

Hermine approaches Delmarva; September 2, 2016

As of 8:00a.m.  Sept 2^nd  Hurricane Hermine has now been downgraded to a tropical storm.  It has sustained winds of nearly 70 mph and is moving north northeast at 15 mph, centered just east of Charleston, SC.  The present storm track will place it at or near the Outer Banks, NC by Friday evening with winds 60 + mph in stronger gusts.  It will then move north just off the Delmarva peninsula by mid-day Saturday, Sept. 3^rd.   NOAA models and the European model are still not in agreement as to what happens next.  It does appear that the storm will stall at this point and then may move west toward the coastline between Maryland and New Jersey.  Additionally, it may become  extra – tropical as a strong Nor’easter and remain in the same location until the middle  of next week.  This could cause extensive beach erosion  along with very heavy rain that could include the Baltimore – Washington area.  Rainfall amounts with this scenario would be between 5” – 8”  in squalls on the Delmarva and 3” – 5” over the Mid-Atlantic region, along with winds 30 – 40 mph or higher.  The elements that are affecting this is one, a strong high pressure over New England with its clockwise circulation and  two, the counterclockwise circulation of the storm with their two wind fields both moving toward the coastline.  All interests in the Mid-Atlantic region should stay tuned to your local TV station and NOAA Weather Radio for updates as this event unfolds.

The tidal levels displayed do not include the effects of the impeding storm.
