Nate was the first hurricane to make landfall in Mississippi since Katrina.
At least 100,000 lost power in Mississippi and Alabama, but fortunately, damage wasn't as severe as it had been with previous storms this year.
States of emergency were declared in parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, and a number of people evacuated to shelters.
The heaviest flooding in the region came from dangerous storm surge, the rise in water levels due to a hurricane's strong wind. Storm surge on the Gulf Coast reached 6 feet in several regions.

After moving on from Central America, Nate skimmed the coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula before heading across the Gulf of Mexico, where it picked up enough strength to become a hurricane.
At least 22 people died as a result of the storm.
Heavy rains caused destructive landslides and flash flooding across much of Central America. Nate dropped up to 30 inches of rain in isolated locations.
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Honduras took the brunt of Nate's initial force.
