People travelling across South Texas this week could face flight delays, flooded roads, and dangerous coastal conditions as Tropical Storm Bertha approaches the Gulf Coast. Although the storm is expected to affect transport and local businesses, energy analysts say it remains too early to determine whether it will disrupt fuel supplies or push petrol prices higher.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has issued tropical storm warnings for parts of the Texas coastline as Bertha moves inland. Forecasts suggest the system will produce several inches of rain in some areas, increasing the risk of flash flooding, hazardous driving conditions, and coastal inundation.
