Well, the liberal media (including The Weather Channel) are getting breathless with the anticipation of Tropical Storm Bertha crossing the Atlantic Ocean, with the projected course presently being the East Coast (and if you look at the map above, linked to the National Hurricane Center and automatically updated when the NHC website updates its forecast, headed right for the South Carolina coast in about a week). This is the most excitement they've had since the record hurricane season of 2005...

That said, I've lived on the South Carolina coast for 33 years now, and have survived hurricanes like Hugo and David and tropical storms that have landed and passed by. These storms have been coming since the media was scaring us with man-made global cooling threats in the 70s into the current media scare of man-made global warming in the 2000s. I didn't believe in man-made global cooling then, and I was right, and I don't believe in man-made global warming now, and will also be proven right when Algore's threat of global apocalypse doesn't happen in just over seven and a half years. Hurricanes have formed every year, and will continue to do so. Man cannot stop a volcano from exploding, cannot stop earthquakes, and cannot control weather patterns that create tropical storm systems. They have happened since before European explorers first came to the American continent, and before the prehistoric travelers crossed the land bridge that was is today the Bearing Strait to become the American Indians, Myans, Toltecs, and so on.

So, relax and live it. Bertha will go where Bertha will go. We just have to be prepared to survive. It is only because of today's technology that we can follow where storms like this will go so we can plan ahead... So, until it gets closer and a landfall prediction can be a bit more accurate, I'm not going to worry about it at all... I'll let the breathless liberal media hacks do that for me.
