About: Hurricane Bertha (2014)

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Hurricane Bertha was an unusual tropical cyclone in early August 2014 that attained hurricane status, despite having a disheveled appearance and an abnormally high atmospheric pressure. The third tropical cyclone and second hurricane of the season, Bertha developed from a tropical wave south of the Cape Verde Islands was monitored first for possible tropical cyclogenesis on July 26. Over the following days, it slowly developed and acquired gale-force winds and enough convection to be designated as Tropical Storm Bertha early on August 1. A mostly disorganized cyclone, Bertha quickly moved across the Lesser Antilles, clipping the northern end of Martinique, later that day. During its trek across the eastern Caribbean Sea, its circulation became severely disrupted and it may have degenerated

  • Hurricane Bertha was an unusual tropical cyclone in early August 2014 that attained hurricane status, despite having a disheveled appearance and an abnormally high atmospheric pressure. The third tropical cyclone and second hurricane of the season, Bertha developed from a tropical wave south of the Cape Verde Islands was monitored first for possible tropical cyclogenesis on July 26. Over the following days, it slowly developed and acquired gale-force winds and enough convection to be designated as Tropical Storm Bertha early on August 1. A mostly disorganized cyclone, Bertha quickly moved across the Lesser Antilles, clipping the northern end of Martinique, later that day. During its trek across the eastern Caribbean Sea, its circulation became severely disrupted and it may have degenerated into a tropical wave. On August 3, it traversed the Mona Passage and moved over the Southeastern Bahamas where conditions favored development. Despite an overall ragged appearance on satellite imagery, data from Hurricane Hunters indicated it intensified to a hurricane on August 4; it acquired peak winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) that day. Turning north, and later northeast, Bertha soon weakened as it began to merge with an approaching trough to the west. This merger ultimately took place on August 6, at which time Bertha was declared extratropical well to the south of Nova Scotia. The remnant system raced eastward across the Atlantic and later struck the United Kingdom on August 10. Once over the North Sea, the storm stalled for a few days before resuming its eastward track. It was last noted around the Baltic Sea on August 16. As a tropical cyclone, Bertha's impact was relatively minor. Widespread power outages occurred along its path but no major damage or loss of life took place. Enhanced swells and rip currents associated with the hurricane resulted in three fatalities and dozens of rescues along the East Coast of the United States. After becoming an extratropical system, it had significant effects in Western Europe. Particularly hard hit was the United Kingdom, where wind gusts reached 108 mph (174 km/h). Unseasonably heavy rains triggered widespread flooding which shut down roads and prompted evacuations. One fatality took place offshore. On mainland Europe, a small tornado outbreak resulted in scattered structural damage in Belgium, France, and Germany. (en)
  • L’ouragan Bertha est le troisième système tropical de la saison cyclonique 2014 dans l'océan Atlantique nord. Il est le second à recevoir un nom et à atteindre le seuil d'ouragan. Débutant comme une onde tropicale au large des îles du Cap-Vert le 26 juillet, il est devenu une tempête tropicale le 1er août à 445 km à l'est-sud-est de la Barbade. Il longe alors la chaîne des Antilles en restant dans l'océan Atlantique puis se dirige entre la côte du sud-est des États-Unis et les Bermudes pour devenir un ouragan le 4 août au nord-est des Bahamas. Bertha ne reste que peu de temps à ce niveau et redescend au niveau de tempête tropicale dès le 5 août en effectuant un large arc de cercle la faisant passer près de l'île de Sable, puis au sud-est de Terre-Neuve au Canada où elle devient une dépression post-tropicale. Celle-ci se dirige ensuite vers l'Europe qu'elle atteint comme une forte dépression des latitudes moyennes. Bertha n'a touché aucune terre avant d'arriver en Europe mais a laissé d'importantes quantités de pluie sur les îles allant de la Martinique aux Bahamas. Deux personnes se sont noyées au large des côtes américaines, même si la tempête est passée très loin de celles-ci, à cause de la forte houle. En Europe, la dépression a donné beaucoup de pluie et de vents, une personne est morte d'un accident maritime. (fr)
