Not exactly what I thought would happen, but the neck hairs are never wrong - Bertha did do something before she was all said and done (and she isn't all said and done just yet).
Tropical Storm Bertha headed back out over open ocean and away from the U.S. mainland Tuesday after it battered Bermuda, knocking out electricity to thousands on the Atlantic tourist island.
It is the longest-lived July tropical storm in history, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.
Bertha became the Atlantic season's first hurricane, before weakening into a tropical storm.
It is expected to strengthen over the next 24 hours, forecasters said.
The previous longest-lived storm, known as Storm No. 2, occurred in 1960 and lasted just over 12 days, according to forecaster Daniel Brown. Bertha is entering its 13th day.
The storm was centered 360 miles (580 kilometers) northeast of Bermuda Tuesday night, with sustained winds near 65 mph (100 kph), the center said. It was moving northeast at 6 mph (9 kph).
