Tropical Storm Bertha Heads for Texas | Annapolis News

Tropical Storm Bertha is barreling toward the Texas coast, set to make landfall Friday evening with 45 mph winds—and it’s expected to vanish quickly afterward. While warnings were lifted in parts of Louisiana, a storm warning remains active from Louisiana’s Terrebonne-Lafourche line to Sargent, Texas, bracing for 39-73 mph winds. Storm surge of 1-3 feet threatens coastal flooding, and Texas faces 2-4 inches of rain—with some areas getting up to 6 inches—raising flash flood risks. Even beyond the landfall zone, dangerous swells will bring hazardous surf and rip currents along the northern Gulf Coast for days. Stay ready: wind, rain, and rough waters are coming.
