Tropical Storm Bertha Heads for Gulf Coast | Global News

Tropical Storm Bertha is barreling toward the southeastern U.S., packing life-threatening storm surges and heavy rain—up to eight inches in some spots—with potential for isolated tornadoes in Florida. Though initially feared to hit near New Orleans, Bertha is now expected to weaken into a tropical depression by Thursday and fade near Texas. Coastal areas from Florida to Louisiana face flooding risks and must prep now—sandbags, cleared drains, and staying alert are key. This is only the second named storm of the season, a stark reminder that hurricane season is here and conditions can shift fast.
