.....Tropical Storm Bertha! I saw her roll off of West Africa last night and told Mrs. MP I didn't like the look of it....I hate when I'm right. 
Vital Stats
1) WEST-NORTHWEST @ 12 MPH...19 KM/HR.
2) MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 40 MPH...65 KM/HR.
3) TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 35 MILES...55 KM FROM THE CENTER.
4) ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 1006 MB...29.71 INCHES. (this is the key stat, the lower the number, the more powerful the storm.)
Have a look at her here... http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/flt/t1/loop-avn.html

My Ride: 08 550 Carbon Sport Almost everything factory, but no sound upgrades.
My WAG says Bertha will veer north and if it makes the coast at all it won't reach to a Cat 2.
