I have, but only a very small one and was disappointed in it's lackluster performance as I stood on the shores of our cottage screaming at it around age 9 or 10..."Come on, bring it! That all you got!!" lol The updraft had pulled my new tent from it's pegs on the shore and dropped it into the middle of the lake...while it tore thru trees a mile or so away across the lake. My dad had to carry me inside to huddle with the rest of them, kicking and screaming. I don't have a death wish..but man do I, and have I ever loved violent weather.

Tropical Storm Bertha, is now officially Hurricane Bertha! National Hurricane Center

here is a satellite feed of it in near real time: Central Atlantic Visible Imagery - Satellite Services Division

It looks to pose no threat to the eastern seaboard and as my earliest predictions went...they seem to be spot on. If anyone lives in Bermuda, then I would suggest you start preparing as it looks on course.

Chances are it won't make it much stronger then a Cat. 2 at best as it heads for cooler waters in it's present steering conditions. It may pose a threat to the extreme northeast and canadian maritimes also...unless things change into the 72+ predictions. But also, I do tend to think it will head north then east and die off as a fairly uneventful first hurricane in thecold North Atlantic.




You are not 14-16 years old like you claim, unless you're in MENSA.
lol It's okay dude, I'm used to it. I am 14, and turned it in May. Now I rarely respond to these types of inquiries or feel the need to explain...BUT, to make it interesting...for a proper wager I can prove it. I have posted pics before and do have a webcam to verify. I can even give ya the finger in real time.

By the way, Bertha has sadly deteriorated due to wind shear and several other factors into a weak Cat. 1. I expect it to eventually be drawn into a front and disappear. But fear not...there shall be more hurricanes, and I will be here to provide the info. as to their birth, growth...and subsequent movements.
