In case you missed it — and you’ll be forgiven if you did — we had our first landfalling tropical cyclone of the 2020 hurricane season on Wednesday. Tropical Storm Bertha, which was classified as such when it was 30 miles southeast of Charleston, came ashore around 9:30am with maximum sustained winds (primarily offshore) of 50 MPH. Bertha was not a major wind-maker on land, but dropped enough rain at low tide to cause flooding in downtown Charleston. Its heavy rain spread inland, adding to rain totals on what has been a soggy second half of the month already. Charleston Airport set a new rainfall record on Wednesday, as well; 2.08″ broke the record of 2″ set in 1977.
