The rainfall was so heavy that many roads and neighborhoods could not handle that much rain in such a short period of time. These types of rain events can often be more destructive than a tropical storm or even a small hurricane.
It rained yesterday morning and this morning we awoke to even more rain. I took this picture at 645am
It looks like tonight and tomorrow morning has great potential for more rain.






Tropical Storm Bertha is out over the open Atlantic Ocean after battering Bermuda and indirectly causing one U.S. death.
The storm knocked out electricity to thousands of customers on the British tourist island.
Bermuda's weather service canceled a hurricane watch for the island late yesterday but a tropical storm watch remains in effect. There have been no reports of injuries.
Ron Smith is a carpenter who moved to Bermuda about a year ago from the English city of Stoke-on-Trent. He describes the broad storm's passage as “harrowing.”
The storm has whipped up dangerous rip currents along the U.S. East Coast from the Carolinas through southern New England. That's contributed to at least one drowning off a New Jersey beach.

Bertha is expected to re-strengthen into a hurricane today. Maximum sustained winds are currently 70-miles-per-hour.



Invest 94 is weakening and they are no longer considering it a threat.
