Bertha Makes Leap To Hurricane Status
· Bertha is the first Atlantic Ocean storm to reach hurricane status this summer and is growing stronger as it moves across the warm waters of the central tropical Atlantic, the National Hurricane Center said yesterday.
Bertha formed off the coast of Africa and began moving west a few days ago. It was unclear exactly where Bertha would go, but forecasters were projecting a track yesterday that could take it toward the island of Bermuda.
The hurricane season began June 1 and ends Nov. 30. One storm reached tropical storm status, and experts predict a busy storm season. Tropical storms are designated hurricanes when their top winds reach 74 mph. The worst hurricanes, Category 5, have winds of at least 156 mph.
