Ask the Meteorologists
Have a question for our meteorologists? Post it here and check back later for the answer.
When was the last time we had a hurricane named Bertha?
MIKE MOSS SAYS: Jane, We had a Hurricane Bertha that made landfall in southeastern North Carolina in July 1996. In addition, the name was used for a 1984 tropical storm, a 1990 hurricane, a 2002 tropical storm and the recent 2008 hurricane. Unless an Atlantic storm name is retired due to an especially great degree of damage or loss of life, it is reused every sixth year.

- Hey there, I was just wondering how much money do meteorologists get paid? Also, HOW do you get paid exactly? I know that the salaries and whatnot may differ from city to city, how experienced you are, and what broadcast network you work with, but I'd like to have the general overview of a life as a meteorologist, including the pay. :) Posted: Aug. 26, 2008
- Define "excessive lightning". Isn't one strike too much if it hits your house, and 1000 strikes irrelevant if no damage occurs? Also using the term "excessive" impies that lower amount is acceptable, right? Posted: Aug. 23, 2008
