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
2nd. 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 5th. 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 6th . 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.
