Lessons from Bertha

Article Abstract:

Hurricane Bertha damaged boats mainly in North Carolinas and New England. The damage was assessed at $10 mil. During hurricane season, boaters should avoid using marinas on large rivers. Private piers often cannot withstand the storm. Beware of a storm dying down since the winds can reintensify.
