Bertha Heads for Texas Coast | Miami News

Tropical Storm Bertha’s slow crawl across the Gulf Coast brought heavy surf and minor flooding, but spared landmasses the worst of its rain—no major damage or injuries reported. With warnings stretching from Louisiana to Texas, forecasters warn of up to two feet of storm surge and flash flooding, while winds stretch 160 miles out. Locals in Louisiana turned stormwater into playtime, while Galveston urged residents to secure loose items. Bertha is expected to weaken quickly over inland Texas by Friday, making it the second Atlantic storm of the season after Arthur. Meanwhile, Hurricane Fausto in the eastern Pacific is far from land but sending dangerous swells toward Southern California’s beaches.
