Summary
Tropical Storm Bertha barrels toward Louisiana’s coast, prompting 24/7 emergency operations as watches and warnings go into effect. Though the storm is weakening due to dry air and wind shear, expect strong winds, heavy rain, and coastal flooding—though flood risk is now at the lowest level. Landfall is forecast for Wednesday afternoon. Officials urge residents to prep emergency kits, check on vulnerable neighbors, and brace for possible power outages. Emergency crews are already on high alert, coordinating with local parishes and still aiding recovery from Tropical Storm Arthur—all while battling a scorching heatwave that could push heat indexes to 110-115 degrees.
