Tropical Storm: Bertha

[Bann]

You'd be correct!

I was in Myrtle Beach the year Bertha came through, and Praise Jesus that it came ashore with moderate winds and rain.

That was my first encounter with a Hurricane (cat.1) then Isabelle.
I hope Bertha is as nice to me again as she was when she came ashore in Myrtle Beach that year (1995 I think).

Bertha was a Cat. 2 when it made landfall - July, 1996
(another early hurricane) I lived in Va. Beach at the time with an infant & a 5yo. (Daddy was on the ship & not due back in port for 2 weeks yet. He missed all the fun.)

Still could go either way on the Bermuda question. The forecast models have all converged on solutions keeping the storm well away from the U.S. mainland though. There's no point other than curiosity in tracking this one now.

That's true as far as Bermuda goes. This morning's map shows it going dead on to Bermuda as opposed to yesterday's map which showed it going to the east of Bermuda.

She is no threat to us and is going to veer off the coast and head into the north Atlantic.
