We have ourselves some weather action, folks! Tropical Storm Bertha has formed in the Atlantic, approximately 4 gagillion miles away from Florida — but moving west. If the forecast track is to be believed, Massachusetts could be wiped off the map as early as July 20th.
For the moment, those of us manning the CL 4000 Weather Center advise you to stay out of the Home Depot, as we have not yet issued our "Buy plywood or die!" advisory notice. However, you should stay tuned to this blog for extremely late-breaking weather news and last rites.
And run for you lives!
(Sorry, the excitement of hurricane season is already getting the better of us.)
