Looks like Bertha is going to strengthen to hurricane force at or about the time it passes us to the north. We may get waves and rain so the forecast says now. We are almost halfway between the storm and Florida. Trending is difficult. Last storm that headed straight across from this approximate location was named Andrew. Not all storms drift north. So now, save any movement straight across or (even more remotely) south, we'll miss a hit. I'm not a betting person and will continue to stock up on canned goods, water and watch it.
Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.
