People stroll along Horseshoe Bay beach, on the south shore of Bermuda, Sunday, July 13, 2008. Signs have been placed warning of dangerous rip tides caused by Tropical Storm Bertha. Bertha weakened Sunday into a tropical storm as it hovered near Bermuda, and forecasters say it may deal a glancing blow to the Atlantic island in the coming days.
