Meet Hurricane Bertha! Hurricane Bertha formed on August 1 and lasted (in some form) until August 16, 2014. Don’t remember her? Well get reacquainted! Bertha throughout her life as a tropical system always sorta looked…disheveled. Yet whenever hurricane hunter aircraft flew through her, her winds were always stronger than she looked. Just goes to show, you can’t judge a hurricane book by it’s satellite cover.
Bertha was a classic “fish” storm in that she never made landfall in the US, getting picked up by a cold front and jettisoned across the Atlantic. But she still did pack a punch even after her tropical days were done by bringing flooding rains to the UK, and tornadoes to Belgium, France and Germany.
So what has Bertha been up to? You know, just living her BEST LIFE. Learn some tips on how to do just that in the second episode of the Forgotten Storms of the Atlantic podcast.
