A tropical storm warning was issued for South Carolina’s coast and the storm was expected to bring heavy rainfall, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. The storm was centered about 40 miles (65 kilometers) northeast of Charleston, South Carolina, and was moving north near 15 mph (24 kph). Bertha was expected to move rapidly inland, spreading up to 4 inches (10 centimetres) of rain through eastern South Carolina into North Carolina and Virginia.
