Tropical Storm Bertha Makes Landfall on US Gulf Coast

Tropical Storm Bertha, the second named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, made landfall on the US Gulf Coast. Storm warnings stretched from Florida to Louisiana, with possible storm surges up to 4ft along Louisiana and Mississippi coasts and flooding risks. Damage is expected to be limited, partly because the El Niño weather pattern may counter the worst effects, though warm Atlantic waters keep the broader storm risk high.
