Did Bertha make it to hurricane status? I see it referred to as "post tropical cyclone Bertha" elsewhere. Bertha only just made Tropical Storm status before landfall just South of Cape Hatteras and fading out in the Carolinas.

I am flying through it later today - I will tell you if it is still there Poseur. Remnants of Bertha - 28,000ft over Carolinas looking North East. Just fading storm cells - bumpy when we went closer No we were not in a hard right turn - for some reason the system wants that orientation

It looks like Glen is off the hook but Mr Phydeaux may need to tether things down....

39MPH winds!!! that is sailing weather down here. Nobody went out last Saturday because it wasn't going to be 20 knots.
I know the trees are soft and the people also?

There's some southwest shear in the GOM that should keep Cris from blowing up too badly, but I will keep an eye on him. These early small ones are usually only a problem if they stall over a coastal area.(Allison in 2001 and Claudette in 1979, I think, were both June TS that parked over the Houston area and caused epic floods). I doubt I'll have to move the furniture off the upstairs porch for this little guy. Once he starts moving, he'll blow through here in fewer than 10 hours (fingers crossed) and I'll have to rake up some tree limbs on Monday.

39MPH winds!!! that is sailing weather down here. Nobody went out last Saturday because it wasn't going to be 20 knots. I know the trees are soft and the people also? Having lived on the West coast of Scotland where 30kts was the average wind speed in many places I would agree. I learned to always park cars facing into wind as with the wind behind them the doors could be pulled out of your hand by the wind and slammed open leading to crinkly damage on the front edge of the doors. And we often got hurricane force winds called 'severe storm force 12' with no real comment or concern. Indeed everything that could be blown away had been blown away many years before so storms had apparently little effect. I have commented here before that the first hurricane I sat through here was very reminiscent of the Scots weather: dark all day, rain traveling horizontally in a strong wind - it was quite a shock going out into it that the air temperature was around 90F as I was expecting the more common Scottish ~40F (temperatures) What makes the hurricanes more 'impressive' is that the wind speeds can get 40-50Kts higher and that they spawn tornadoes just to add to the excitement. Also in most places the wind average rarely gets much above 10 kts apart from gust fronts in thunder storms. So there is lots to be blown away by storm force winds.

Cristobal Looks nice and neat as this stylized diagram.... But its outer bands are dropping continual rain on East and North East Florida

Not sure I've ever seen a tropical storm track like this before.
