Big Bertha is Coming!

Nothing on the fires or the floods today. Incredible, isn't it?

And this is who I used to depend on to give me the "news?"

"Bertha blows by; may strengthen

HAMILTON - Tropical Storm Bertha raked Bermuda with high winds yesterday while kicking up choppy surf along the East Coast of the United States. US forecasters warned that the system was close to regaining hurricane strength. The streets of Hamilton were empty and all ferries and flights were canceled in the British territory. Most businesses closed and there were sporadic power outages from downed cables as well as minor flooding. There were no reports of injuries. The US National Hurricane Center said the center of the storm was 65 miles northeast of the Atlantic island late yesterday afternoon with sustained winds near 70 miles per hour. Bertha is expected to strengthen into a hurricane during the next 24 hours, according to the hurricane center (AP July 15, 2008)."
