Not yet sure if it will effect land..........but it is the first official hurricane of the season. http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/weather/07/07/hurricane.bertha/index.html
It's path is headed toward Bermuda, then just out in the sea!!! I've been keeping an eye on it to make sure it isn't headed toward Myrtle Beach... http://www.weather.com/maps/news/atlstorm2/projectedpath_large.html?from=hp_news
From the Grateful Dead song "Bertha"........ Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked back into a bar door. It's all night pourin', pourin', pourin', Lord but not a drop on me. Test me, test me, Test me, test me, test me, Why don't you arrest me? Throw me in to the jailhouse, Lord until the sun goes down, 'till it goes down. I had to move, really had to move, That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees, Bertha don't you come around here anymore.
