Tropical Storm Bertha moves toward Texas landfall after grazing Louisiana's coast

Summary by The Los Angeles Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by AP, ABC7 Los Angeles (KABC) · July 23, 2026 · 1 min read

Tropical Storm Bertha is churning toward a second landfall in Texas after grazing southern Louisiana.

Why this matters in The Los Angeles

While Tropical Storm Bertha's immediate impact is being felt in Louisiana and Texas, Los Angeles residents should consider the potential long-term effects on the city's food supply and prices. As a major hub for trade and commerce, Los Angeles is connected to the Gulf Coast region through various transportation networks, including highways and railroads. Disruptions to these networks due to severe weather events like Bertha can lead to delays and shortages in the delivery of goods, including fresh produce and other essential items. This, in turn, can drive up prices at local markets and grocery stores, affecting the daily lives of Angelenos. As the storm continues to move inland, Los Angeles residents should monitor the situation and be prepared for potential ripple effects on the local economy. The city's grocery stores and food distributors will likely be keeping a close eye on the situation, and residents may want to do the same.
