At 10 A.M. Hurricane Bertha remained at Category 1 strength with an wind intensity of 85 mph. It was crawling its way to the north at only 2 miles an hour near Bermuda, hitting the island with some of its high swells and surf and perhaps 1 to 2 inches of rain over about the next day. The newest reconnaisance flight into Bertha at 1 PM has indicated a slight weakening down to 80 mph winds and currently a storm that has nearly no appreicable motion/direction. The hurricane is forecast to maintain strength over the next 24 to 48 hours and slowly begin moving northward once again. More details to come with the next official hurricane advisory release at 4 P.M.
