Tropical Storm Bertha has moved through the Gulf Coast, leaving Louisiana and Texas communities to reckon with the familiar arithmetic of storm season — wind, surf, and the slow work of recovery.

For those who live where land meets the Gulf, Bertha is another chapter in a long, recurring story of preparation, endurance, and return.
