Tropical Storm Bertha Heads for Gulf Coast | Jacksonville News

Tropical Storm Bertha’s winds hit 60 mph as it headed northwest through the Gulf, bringing gusty winds, heavy rain, and dangerous surf to parts of Florida—even though it wasn’t expected to become a hurricane. With a storm warning in effect and forecasts still uncertain, Bertha could veer toward Louisiana or intensify over warmer waters to impact Texas. Residents from Florida’s Big Bend to southern Louisiana faced flash flooding risks, with 2–4 inches of rain possible. While major damage wasn’t expected, the storm served as a wake-up call: stay informed, know your evacuation zone, and be ready—conditions can change fast.
