Hurricane Nate Landfall United State
Hurricane Nate made landfall outside Biloxi, Mississippi, for the second time along the US Gulf Coast as a category one storm in the early hours of Sunday morning.
At 2am local time (7am GMT) it was located five miles north of Biloxi, and was travelling north.
It is the first time hurricane has made landfall in Mississippi since Katrina caused widespread flooding and loss of life in 2005.
Nate had already made landfall earlier on Saturday night at the mouth of the Mississippi River in southeast Louisiana.
It had weakened slightly and had maximum sustained winds of 85mph (137kph), according to the National Hurricane Centre.
Nate has already killed at least 30 people in Central America and is the fourth major storm to hit the US in less than two months.
The storm surge from Hurricane Nate caused flooding along the seafront in Bliloxi, and across communities in Mississippi and Alabama.
