Tropical Storm Bertha made landfall Wednesday afternoon on the Louisiana coast, bringing strong winds and heavy rain to the US Gulf Coast. The storm weakened after making landfall but prompted warnings of potential storm surge and flooding.
The tropical storm came ashore with sustained winds, though it had diminished in strength by the time it reached land. Newsmax reported that Bertha “crawled onto the southern tip of Louisiana” packing strong winds far from its center, leading to beach closures from the Florida Panhandle to Mississippi. The Times of India noted the system brought storm surge and heavy rain.
Forecasters expect the storm to continue weakening steadily after landfall, according to multiple reports. CBS News meteorologist Jessica Burch provided updates on the storm’s projected path, though specific details were not included in available sources. ABC News confirmed that Bertha made landfall east of New Orleans as a weakened tropical storm.
No right-leaning outlets beyond Newsmax reported on the storm, and no sources detailed any damage or impact from the weather event.
