We woke this morning to our phone going off warning us that we were under a tropical storm warning. A tropical depression had formed off the South Carolina Coast and exploded into a Tropical Storm over night. Wind grew to 30 MPH and it became Bertha! The eye of Bertha came ashore about ten miles north of us. We did not get a lot of wind but did have torrential rain for about 5 hours. Then the clouds cleared off and it was just hot and steamy. So we can add “surviving a Tropical Storm” to our lists of firsts for the Wanderer. We had planned to be out of here before the start of Hurricane Season (1 June), but the COVID-19 lockdown has ruined all out plans for this summer. We are waiting to see how the states begin to open up before we start making new plans. But we did find out that the local NP will begin a phased reopening starting the 23rdof May. So maybe we can finally get in to see Fort Sumter soon.
