Bertha’s Last Surge Brings Flooding and Surprises | Johannesburg News
Description
Tropical Storm Bertha made a second landfall in Louisiana and Texas, packing heavy surf, flooding, and gusty winds—even as it weakened into a tropical depression by Thursday night. Rain totals up to four inches threatened flash floods along the coast and in south Texas, while businesses stayed open in Galveston despite warnings. Minor outages occurred, but no major disruptions. In Florida, a beach boardwalk collapsed and a Waffle House sign toppled onto a car, while swimmers were urged to stay out due to dangerous surf. Bertha was the season’s second tropical storm, following Arthur in June, while Hurricane Fausto brewed far out in the Pacific, poised to whip up hazardous surf along California’s shores.
