Will Big Bertha continue to blow and break into the Top 10 Longest Lived Atlantic Storms?
Settled as No
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2008/al02/al022008.public.070.shtml
Background:
This is a correction to a previous market that I'd worded poorly.
Today, Thursday is day # 13 for the tropical storm Bertha, having no swiped at Bermuda it continues to languish in the North Atlantic as is already the longest lasting July storm in the Atlantic on record. If it remains an indetifiable storm into Tuesday of next week it will have then matched the 10th longest storm in the Atlantic, i.e. make the Top Ten List (below)
So, do you think it will continue to blow, or simply wind down to below tropical storm status?
