Bertha is a category three storm and is currently located 1,085 kilometers east-northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands. It is moving to the northwest at 17 kilometers per hour according to the National Hurricane Center.
Projections estimate that it may hit Bermuda, but there is also a good chance that it will turn away from the island as a gradual weakening of the storm is expected to begin soon.
Not a very scientific thought I have here but…that hurricane image with those great colors looks better than some art of seen in fine museums…
Haha. Yes the colors are nice.
