Bertha Brings Danger to Florida Shores | Panama City Beach News

Tropical Storm Bertha’s brewing along the coast—no direct landfall expected, but strong winds and rough seas demand caution. Beachgoers: stay out of the water. Double red flags are flying, meaning swimming is banned—break the rule and face $500 fines or up to 60 days in jail, plus you’re putting rescuers at risk. Bay County Fire Rescue is fully mobilized. Watches and advisories are in effect: Tropical Storm Watch for the Emerald and Forgotten Coasts until early Wednesday, High Surf Advisory until Thursday with waves up to 11 feet. Safety first—don’t risk it. Stay dry, stay safe, have fun. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
