Tropical Storm Bertha Is Born


Tropical Storm Bertha is born, according to the National Hurricane Center. The storm has sustained winds near 40 mph and was located off the coast of Africa, about 190 miles south-southeast of the Cape Verde Islands.

Bertha is the second storm of the 2008 Atlantic Hurricane season and is moving at about 14 mph. Forecasters say the storm doesn’t appear likely to become a hurricane, and should stay well away from the Caribbean island chain.
