Tropical Storm Bertha Heads for Gulf Coast | Bangor News

Tropical Storm Bertha barrels toward the Gulf Coast, threatening Louisiana with flooding and 4-foot storm surges as residents from Florida to New Orleans brace with sandbags and closed beaches. Wind, not rain, is the main danger, with warnings in place for major cities including New Orleans. Mississippi, still recovering from recent flooding, watches closely as Bertha’s rains could compound damage. No evacuations yet, but officials are on high alert — even as NOAA predicts a quieter season, severe storms remain possible. Meanwhile, in the Pacific, Hurricane Fausto intensifies, whipping up dangerous surf along Baja California. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
