TROPICAL STORM NATE - Voice of RUPERT LACY - BBC News
Harrison County Emergency Management Director.
Storm Nate has brought strong winds, torrential rain and some flooding to the US Gulf Coast.
It made landfall as a category one hurricane near the mouth of the Mississippi River in Louisiana, late on Saturday, with maximum sustained winds of 85mph (137km/h).
After making landfall a second time in Biloxi, Mississippi, it was downgraded to a tropical storm.
But weather officials warn the threat of dangerous storm surges remain.
Nate killed at least 25 people in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Honduras.
The tropical storm then strengthened to a category one hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale as it headed swiftly towards the US.
Although not as strong as last month's Maria and Irma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and parts of Florida had issued warnings and evacuation orders ahead of its arrival.
