Tropical Storm Bertha Heads North | Wilmington News

Tropical Storm Bertha’s creeping up the Gulf Coast with heavy rain and flooding warnings stretching from Florida to Louisiana, bringing 2-4 inches of rain and flash flood risks—especially in urban zones. Though it’s weakening as it nears land, coastal areas like New Orleans and Orange Beach are on high alert, with beaches already closed due to dangerous surf. This is the second storm of the Atlantic season, and with Mississippi still recovering from last month’s flooding, residents are extra cautious. Sandbags are being distributed, but no evacuations yet. Meanwhile, Hurricane Fausto in the Pacific is gaining strength but remains far from land, posing no direct threat to Mexico—though ocean swells could whip up hazardous surf.
