Tux of Borg Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Article Projected Path Hurricane Bertha is First of the 2008 Season U.S. weather forecasters say Tropical Storm Bertha has strengthened into the first hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic season. Hurricane Bertha is moving across the waters of the central tropical Atlantic Ocean. Forecasters said Monday it is too early to determine if Bertha poses a threat to any land areas. As of this Monday morning, Bertha had maximum sustained winds of nearly 120 kilometers-per-hour. Forecasters say some additional strengthening is expected during the next few days. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movinon Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Aren't the water tables of VA, NC, SC, and GA very low, and in need of recharging? VA's water tables are just fine thanks to the third wettest May on record. July is shaping up to be another soaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Are the aquifers recharged? The aquifers are good here in Central Va, but we got another problem we need taken care of. This fire in the Great Dismal Swamp is a real pain in the ass. Was at VA beach this weekend and dam smoke is just brutal.Accroding to the experts, only a tropical storm or hurricane might put it out. http://www.wavy.com/Global/story.asp?S=862...mp;nav=menu45_2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Last weekend's smoke wasn't as bad as the last couple weeks Yea, thats what my Mother in law has been saying. She lives on 49th street, and we will be there quite a bit over the next two months. I have smelled it once here in Richmond, but was pretty close to the time it started, and not since then. Feel for you all down there, that is a right nasty smell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
