From Times Wire Reports
Tropical Storm Bertha kicked up deadly surf as far as New Jersey and threatened to lash Bermuda with rain and high winds for 24 hours.
The storm apparently played a role in the deaths of three swimmers along the New Jersey coast, where the U.S. National Weather Service said Bertha created tricky waves and currents.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center’s projections show Bertha sideswiping Bermuda today, a day later than earlier forecasts, and dumping 2 to 4 inches of rain.
