Hurricane Bertha barrels towards Bermuda

SHAKE AND BLOW

This July 9, 2008 NOAA satellite image shows Hurricane Bertha churning in the Atlantic Ocean. Category-two Hurricane Bertha edged northward in the central Atlantic early July 10 posing a possible threat to Bermuda, the US National Hurricane Center said. With sustained winds blowing at 165 kilometers (105 miles) per hour, at 5:00 am (0900 GMT) the first full hurricane of the 2008 season was located about 875 kilometers (545 miles) southeast of Bermuda.

Hurricane Bertha barreled steadily northwest towards the British islands of Bermuda Thursday, and could sweep over them in the next few days, the US National Hurricane Center said.

The first hurricane of the 2008 season, Bertha's maximum winds slowed to 90 miles per hour (150 k/h), weakening it to a Category One hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale. But the Miami-based Center warned it could re-intensify.

Although still some 485 miles (785 kms) southeast of the islands, Bertha was moving towards Bermuda at a speed of nine miles an hour (15 k/h), and already causing heavy surf along the island's shores.
