Bertha Braces Puerto Rico as Storm Nears
Tropical Storm Bertha skimmed south of Puerto Rico bringing heavy rains and winds up to 50 mph. Gov Garcia Padilla warned of floods and landslides while authorities reported trees down and power cuts affecting about 9,000 customers and 1,300 without water. A man was struck by lightning near Luquillo as shelters housed about 180 people, mostly youth baseball players in Arroyo.
