Tropical Storm Bertha Heads for Louisiana | New Orleans News
Description
Tropical Storm Bertha barrels toward Louisiana, poised to slam into St. Bernard Parish between 2 and 3 PM, bringing heavy rain, wind, and coastal flooding. With a Tropical Storm Warning in effect for New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain, vulnerable communities like Shell Beach and Venetian Isles brace as water creeps inland. Officials urge residents to move boats and vehicles to higher ground, while Hancock County sees minimal impact so far but still takes precautions. The storm may weaken but could linger into Thursday, prompting Grand Isle to prep pumps and generators—and even delay the Tarpon Rodeo. Parishes like Lafourche and Terrebonne ensure pumps are ready and levees are inspected, while locals are reminded to clear debris to protect infrastructure.
