A reinvigorated Hurricane Bertha roared into the North and
South Carolina coasts Friday, strafing beach resorts with fierce 105
mph winds, dumping heavy rain and spawning tornadoes. By early this
morning the weakened storm system was moving into Virginia.
The conditions resulted in one death in Kitty Hawk, where news
services reported a driver was killed in a traffic accident. Eight
other deaths have been attributed to the storm -- six in the
Caribbean and two in Florida -- since Bertha began spiraling north
last week.
After skirting over Cape Fear at midday Friday, the
35-mile-wide eye of the storm made landfall at Wrightsville Beach
