Hurricane Justin grew into an ominous Category 4 hurricane today as it approaches the S.C.-Georgia borders with 140-mph winds.

Forecasters say Hurricane Bertha could become stronger in the next day as it heads toward Bermuda.

It's unknown if or when the hurricane will make landfall. Forecasters have been urging people on the island to monitor the storm's progress.

As of about 11 a.m. EDT Wednesday, the center of the storm was about 550 miles northeast of the northern Leeward Islands and about 715 miles southeast of Bermuda.
