Episode Details

Tropical Storm Bertha is barreling across the Gulf Coast, packing heavy rain and gusty winds from Florida to Louisiana—with flash flooding a major threat as some areas could see up to six inches of rain. New Orleans faces a deadly double whammy: record-breaking heat (feeling like 115 degrees) combined with storm risks, putting vulnerable residents at risk without power or air conditioning. Emergency crews are on high alert, sandbagging, closing beaches, and opening shelters—especially for unhoused folks. With a storm surge of up to four feet and winds up to 105 mph, officials warn this isn’t just a rainstorm—it’s a life-threatening weather event. Even areas not in the direct path, like upper Texas, are under tropical storm watches as conditions could deteriorate quickly. Stay weather aware—this one’s not to be underestimated.
