DOCO Goes Purple: “Awareness Starts at Home”

Dorchester County is going purple this September to bring awareness to the dangers of substance abuse and to encourage positive decision making to navigate life’s challenges.  DOCO Goes Purple’s campaign “Awareness Starts at Home” reminds us that home is the heart of our community, and that the community where we live, work, and where we play is home to us all.  To join in support of this initiative, members of our community are encouraged during the month of September to take their homes, their businesses, their churches, and their schools purple with lights, banners, flowers - anything purple goes!  Of course, to many of us in Dorchester County one of the places we call home is on the water, and on Friday, September 28th at dusk DOCO Goes Purple will host a Purple Lighted Boat Parade in the Cambridge Creek.  To participate in the parade boaters are asked to pre-register at http://bit.ly/2w0FNRD 

or go to dorchestergoespurple.org and click on the parade link.  Once registered, you will be contacted with further details.  And everyone with a boat, a dock, a home or a business on the waterfront is encouraged to light up with purple that night or every night in September as part of this initiative!

September 11, 2018 8:00 AM

Coastal Flood Warning in effect until Sept. 11 (10 p.m.)

* LOCATION...Areas adjacent to the Chesapeake Bay on the lower
Maryland Eastern Shore, including tidal tributaries.

* TIMING...Through the high tide cycle late this evening.

* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Widespread flooding of vulnerable
areas will result in an elevated threat of property damage to
homes and businesses near the waterfront and shoreline. Water
will be 1 to 2 feet above ground level in some areas resulting
in a sufficient depth to close numerous roads and threaten
homes and businesses. Flooding will extend inland from the
waterfront along tidal rivers and bays resulting in some road
closures and flooding of vehicles.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Coastal Flood Warning means that flooding is occurring or
imminent. Coastal residents in the warned area should be alert
for rising water...and take appropriate action to protect life
and property. Be prepared for the possibility of road closures

NOAA / NWS National Hurricane Center - Advisory #44

Subject: NOAA Hurricane Advisory

NOAA / NWS National Hurricane Center - Advisory #44

The National Hurricane Center has issued the following  Advisory to include the Mid-Atlantic region.  At 5 a.m. today Hurricane Florence is 625 miles SE of Bermuda moving WNW at 9mph as a Cat 2 hurricane with sustained winds of 105 mph with higher gusts.  At the present time, Florence is scheduled to increase its forward speed and strengthen to a Cat 4 hurricane at the time of landfall (Cat 4 ranges from 131 - 155 mph sustained winds) with probably sustained winds of 140 mph, making it an extremely dangerous cyclonic system

with devastating results in the affected areas.   

The cone of probability places the hurricane, with a possible landfall between Wilmington and the outer banks of North Carolina with its southern side to include most of South Carolina.  Landfall could occur Wednesday evening, Sep 12th.  The cones northern side includes the entire Mid-Atlantic region and the Delmarva Peninsula.  Regardless of Florence's eventual track, large swells will begin to affect portions of the U.S. East Coast today, resulting in life-threatening surf and rip currents.  There is still uncertainty withFlorence's exact track.   However tropical force winds extend out up to 140 miles from its center with the Delmarva Peninsula within that sphere.

Tropical force winds range between 39 - 73 mph and may occur that would include all coastal beach locations as well as the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay beginning early Friday morning, Sep 14th.  Flooding in western sections of the Bay may also occur.  These conditions will be accompanied by very heavy rainfall throughout the Mid-Atlantic .  Rainfall amounts will range from 8" - 10" or more.  Preparations should begin now with the removal of outdoor furniture and other loose items that could become airborne. Boating interests in the Mid-Atlantic region and the Eastern Shore should take precautions to secure boats or move them to safe locations.  A State of Emergency has been declared in NC, SC, and VA.

Major flooding can be expected in the Washington - Baltimore metropolitan areas.  With the recent heavy rains, tree root systems will have been

weakened and vulnerable to falling, creating danger to power lines.   All

areas within the cone of probability should monitor their local TV and radio stations as well as NOAA Weather Radio for updates as they become available.
