Tropical Storm Bertha Heads for Coast | Raleigh News

Tropical Storm Bertha’s approach to the Louisiana coast is sparking major alerts — with storm surge warnings stretching from Florida to Louisiana, beaches shut down, and roads closed as forecasters brace for up to four feet of water and heavy rain. The real danger? Not where the storm hits, but the wind and surge it brings. Locals in Pensacola are seasoned veterans, even seeing a boost in local business as folks stay inland. Meanwhile, other regions face their own chaos: tornadoes sweep from Ohio to New Jersey, and flash floods in West Virginia leave homes ruined and bridges gone. This is the second Atlantic storm of the season — and it’s hitting Mississippi just as the state recovers from the devastation of Tropical Storm Arthur.
