Bertha caused minor coastal flooding and heavy surf along the Gulf Coast, particularly in Louisiana and Texas. Tropical storm force winds and storm surge led to localized flooding, though no significant damage or fatalities were reported. In Florida, the storm damaged a boardwalk in Pensacola and toppled a Waffle House sign in Panama City Beach. The risk of flash flooding remains in parts of southeastern Texas due to heavy rainfall. Electrical outages were minimal across the Gulf Coast, and most businesses in affected areas, such as Galveston, Texas, remained operational.
