Tropical Storm Bertha Makes Landfall, Weakens as It Moves Inland
Tropical Storm Bertha has made landfall near the Texas-Louisiana border, bringing strong winds, heavy surf, and significant rainfall across southeastern Louisiana and Texas. The storm has since weakened to a tropical depression, but its remnants continue to pose a flood threat, especially as some of its worst weather extends over 800 miles inland. While Houston faces rain and gusty winds, the storm has disrupted local conditions, leading to caution among boaters and damage reported along the Gulf Coast. As storm watches are discontinued, the remnants of Bertha continue to impact regions, with the potential for flooding in the East.
