Hurricane Bertha Strong But Appears Not to Be a Threat to the United State
Hurricane Bertha is strengthening as it takes travels WNW at 17 mph throughout the Atlantic Ocean. Bertha’s current track keeps it east of the United States and no hurricane warnings or watches have been issued for any land areas.
Bertha is the first hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season. At the start of the season, last month, we had our first tropical storm and things have been fairly quiet in the Atlantic since then. However, the height of hurricane season is mid-August to mid-October.
