At least these give the eastern part of the country some rain.
We need storms across the ocean that are so powerful and moisture-laden the Death Lines cannot obliterate the whole thing. Praying for Pacific typhoons.

A whole week to prepare is a good thing, the rain is MUCH needed in that region as it has been having drought conditions.
I cannot remember the years, but when I lived in PA (1976-2001) we had a couple hurricanes that roared into the east coast approximately where this one may, terrible flooding happened quite a ways inland. So let's hope Bertha calms down, is downgraded and looses her punch, just is more of a rain event.

Rough projection, it's way too early to accurately predict where she's heading or what she's going to do.
WTF are Death Lines? And what are you expecting them to obliterate? Please be a little less obtuse. Thanks

My thoughts exactly. .............. Still plenty of time for the trac to bear more westerly and make landfall along the eastern coast of Florida or pull up more and take aim further up the eastern seaboard ..........
Let's see what Bertha does over the next 24 to 36 hours ......
Rain is much needed in many areas from Florida up the coast, but with gas prices and everything else as shakey as they are, we don't need any 'canes in the gulf or any major 'canes making landfall on the US ........
This said by a woman who's checked the genie, has a list of motels that take pets and has the 'cane gear ready to go in case a nasty one looks like it'll head our way ....... LOL Living in the land of the demi-dead, I don't plan to ever wait till they officially order evacuaction only to be stuck behind some ancient, befuddled, dodgy driver who's unfit to drive under the best of conditions ...........

I've been posting about Death Lines since 1998. They are easy to see, every day and night plastered against and across and criss-crossed over any hint of moisture in the Pacific NW. Airplanes (not passenger planes) spray a combination of somethings over any front or clouds and kill the moisture. The Death Lines billow out and desiccate the rain into nothingness. You can watch it in real-time in the sky overhead and especially on real-time satellite photos. The planes will actually outline an approaching front and then heavily spray it until a few hours later it is a moth-eaten faded wisp and then nothing. You can see the progression of the process clearly.
We are in a terrible drought in Oregon because of this. I look at the satellite photos all day from Hawaii up over the Pacific and Pacific NW and am horrified at what is happening. Wholescale murder.

It seems a odd twist that American's want Hurricanes for the water.
Issued at: 10:52 AM AST 7/5/08 (gateway).
Bertha moving quickly westward over the tropical atlantic,
At 1100 am ast, 1500z, the center of tropical storm bertha was located near latitude 16.6 north, longitude 37.3 west or about 885 miles, 1420 km, west of the cape verde islands and about 1705 miles, 2740 km, east of the northern leeward islands.
Bertha is moving toward the west near 21 mph, 33 km/hr, and this general motion is expected to continue during the next couple of days. Bertha will be about half way between the west coast of africa and the lesser antilles by tonight or early Sunday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph, 85 km/hr, with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast today, but gradual strengthening is possible on Sunday.
Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 85 miles, 140 km from the center.
Estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb, 29.53 inches.
Repeating the 1100 am ast position, 16.6 n, 37.3 w. Movement toward, west near 21 mph. Maximum sustained winds, 50 mph. Minimum central pressure, 1000 mb.

Oh, great - we are planning to arrive in Orlando on Monday!! Hope it goes above that. Guess it is a wait and see??

You're joking. Right? You are saying there is one fire they can't put out?
I guess living in Oregon puts a whole new perspective on my thinking. There were hundreds of fires started due to lightning strikes lately and all were put out. Usually there are major fires every year and they get put under control quickly. Most of them that is.
How big is your fire?

the problem is it is a wild area and they have no way to really get to it.
COLUMBIA, N.C. --
Smoke from a large wildfire in eastern North Carolina will make for a hazy Fourth of July in some communities.
The wildfire has burned about 41,000 acres in and around the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge.
Officials said Friday the fire will continue to spew smoke through the weekend, creating unhealthy air in places around Elizabeth City. Some unhealthy air could spread as far as Kill Devil Hills.
The state Division of Air Quality encourages people to limit prolonged outdoors activity. People who are sensitive to air pollution should avoid all physical activity outdoors in areas most affected by the smoke.
The wildfire has been burning for more than a month. Although mostly contained, firefighters say it could burn for much longer in the organic matter of the refuge.

Agreed. A couple inches would be fine, but if it drops 10+ we're in trouble (as anyone would be I guess). Really just need it North Carolina and south.
However, I'm certain it will hit my area since I planted my first veggie garden this year and it will have to be wiped out.

Prepare to take a 'Punch' This is gonna hurt...
Predicting the landfall of a hurricane 7 days out is pure foolishness. On top of that trying to predict its strength that far out is also utter foolishness. What a waste of bandwidth.
You going to be available for all the "I told you so's" next week when you look like an idiot? Don't go away mad just go away.

Geez that was rude. People who live on the east coast start watching these storms pretty far out. I know I do. I live in N. GA but some 'canes do come in my area every now & then.
I appreciate the info.

Karnaaj; I know a nice place you can go for a swim..........They say it is very calm......

It's the prediction of doom and gloom that get me. Someone wants to post a link to current weather patterns that's great. Just don't make predictions or use that stupid

A word of wisdom to a newbie: ppssstt, you are on a doomer board I predict you may have a difficult time here.

karnaaj;
a helpful hint: there are lots of people here, with a wealth of experience. With your 6 posts, you're not going to earn much respect with your rudeness. Don't be so confrontational, and you may actually learn something here.
otherwise, you'll be treated as nothing more than a

Look, this is a board for predictions, both fact-based and speculation. You will see a lot of doom and gloom predictions because we are a doomer board. We prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
I am a meteorologist and I can tell you that you are right. Any prediction more than 5 days out has as much credibility as your standard pair of dice. But, if people can get some idea of what is going to happen and start preparing early, then if they do get hit...they won't be in quite as much trouble.
As opposed to the other way...in which lots of people can end up dead.
Brandy is right. Your response was rude. Please understand that this is what we do here. If you can't hack it, you're on the wrong board.

Hey, it's called "Cape Fear" here for a reason. Yeah, we tend to watch these things closely cause they tend to come here or within a 100 miles of us quite often.
Sure hope this Bertha is not forbodding like her twin was in 1996. If the patterns are the same later in the year we are toast.
