Aaaahhh it's going to hit New Jersey and I live here! Right on the coast!

But it probaby won't be too strong because the waters around as warm as the water in Bermuda and Florida.

Come to SC, and I'll surf your waves Bertha! Turn baby, turn and come here.

To the person who asked will it hit Ohio.... Are you nuts? I lived in OHIO and there is no way a Hurricane would make it over the mountains. It might rain there but that is all!
