Tropical Storm Bertha Heads for Gulf Coast | Jacksonville News

Tropical Storm Bertha’s rolling across the Gulf of Mexico, packing rain and wind that could dump 2-4 inches—up to 6 in some spots—across Florida and Louisiana, with flash flood risks looming through July 24. Though it won’t become a hurricane, coastal communities from the Florida Panhandle to southeastern Louisiana are under tropical storm warnings, with Mississippi and Louisiana already on flood alert. The peak of hurricane season isn’t here yet—mid-August to mid-October is when things heat up—but this storm reminds us: even a tropical storm can pack a serious punch. Stay tuned, stay prepared, and keep an eye on the forecast as Bertha—and other systems—keep moving. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
