Hurricane nate made landfall late saturday near the mouth of the Mississippi River with winds of about 85 miles an hour. The storm also bringing heavy rains and causing storm surges. It is only a category one storm one of the uighurs of the season it should not be taken lightly especially given the destruction seen in Central America when nate was just a Tropical Storm. No one should take the storm lightly. It is already claimed the lives of at least 20 people and nicaragua and in honduras and as we know from past storms low intensity it doesnt necessarily mean low impact. Kelly for the latest on the storm lets check in with our median meteorologist, adam. What is the latest what you can tell us about making landfall and what we can anticipate from its past . Adam that was landfall one. It is back out over open water and that initial landfall was a Barrier Islands just off the delta of the Mississippi River so we are back out running towards mississippi once again. That will take another hour until we get that second landfall but conditions are really beginning to deteriorate right now as we speak. Plans are still at 85 miles an hour and thats a category one storm but were beginning to see that outer i wont get closer and closer to landfall and i do suspect that some of the heaviest rain at this moment is beginning to fall. You see it stretching from biloxi running up to mobile and areas of pensacola. This entire region will seat rounds of very heavy rain and i suspect the surf will pile up at this point, as well. Wins becoming stronger and stronger popping out of the south so three6 feet will be wide spread of service and that will get higher in some locations getting up closer to nine10 feet as we look as these pockets and in lengths where the wind can pick up. This is a current look at the radar. Here is your eye, right there. Those outer bands are beginning to approach landfall. Again, you dont talk about the actual landfall into the center of circulation and that still a good 30 miles offshore moving at 20 miles an hour so that gives us another hour, one hour and a half until we get new official info. Heres your center of circulation this in motion for you. Seeing that center still moving around the coast in mobile and the strongest weather and the nastiest weather will be on the eastern side of that so youre stretching back over toward pensacola and father off to the east. All areas where you will see the most rain and the most went in here is that forecasted win. Remember, the wind does drive that storm surge so areas right along where it makes landfall in these wins will get up to 6080 miles an hour and that will be enough where were talking about trees coming down, Power Outages becoming a problem as we are dealing with some of this win. No surprise here but we have hurricane watches throughout this reason and it is still a category one and where it will it had . This is actually a quick moving storm. The last several storms we talked about have been moving closer to eight12 miles an hour and by tomorrow morning through sunday will be talking about the southeast. This is monday it is already a low pressure system in the northeast. It doesnt mean a lot in the way of brain because its moving so quickly but the wind and the storm surge those are what we will be paying attention to overnight. Folks will be waking up to clear skies tomorrow morning. Kelly thank you, adam. Patti ann the city of new orleans with its history of strong storms are busy taking conscience with the mayor urged president s not to panic. Boxes casey siegel is life there now. We are right on lake punch attain which is on the northern part of the big easy and right now we are singing scene big wins. We have this handydandy device that measures the wind speeds and i was holding it up in the air as adam was talking to get a sense of what winds we were talking about where we are and were only doing 2530mile an hour gusts in this picture of location. We did sing stronger winds earlier when it made landfall to the east of us and as you heard, certain pool is looming but when it came ashore it brought in some heavy wind and also some heavy rain. Reports of flooding already coming in to us from grand isle, louisiana which is the very, very southeast part of the state but nothing in terms of casualties or any injuries or even structural damage that we have heard coming into us from this particular spot, as of yet. Here on [inaudible] the storm surge was a concern here and adam said this wasnt going to be a real heavy rain maker for a lot of people and when you talk about four or five, six or 7 inches of rain compared to 50 plus that parts of texas got during Hurricane Harvey and its nowhere in comparison but the storm surge is what can cause the flooding in some of the concern up and down this area and see the water was on high because of the full moon this week. The moon has a lot to do with the tides and makes the tides higher than they typically would be so there is already a high tide in the lake and there was a concern that when you talked about potential storm surge of six7 feet on top of that but we have been here for many hours now and ive got to say i am not physically seeing the water levels changing since we have been here. The thing we need to point out is still windy and it is still raining so it is certainly not over by any stretch of the imagination here and as we no, further east of us in alabama, florida and the like still have a lot yet to come but for right now nothing really just dangerous or no real reports of catastrophic damage coming to us out of Southeast Louisiana where we are. Again, were just getting into it so well see how that goes. Patti ann will take the good news where we can get it. Thank you. Kelly Hurricane Nate is sitting mississippi, as well, with high winds and heavy rain and is expected to inundate homes and businesses in lowlying areas. A city that is on high alert, fill. Reporter all of those lowlying areas were asked to get out hours ago so hopefully people did. We are getting real first band of that i wall, the first rains and winds and as you can see the surge is coming in over the seawall and we are now ankledeep projected anywhere from six11 or 12 storm surge for coastal mississippi as well as coastal alabama and that is the big concern here. The winds are pretty rough, stronger than they have been all day and the wind is driving the rain like needles in your skin at times but for the most part the waves have been coming from the day but this has been one of the most sustained periods so far. If we have video that our photographer, chad, went over to the seawall where you can see those waves crashing and he was taking quite the pummeling, amazing video and this is life as well. The winds are strong and as adam said maybe an hour hour and a half before the actual sensor of the very disorganized eye makes its official landfall somewhere here on the coast in mississippi. Again, the concern is less the wind and the rain but about more about the storm surges in those lowlying coastal areas along mississippis coastline as well as into alabamas coastline, mobile really bracing for possibly a lot of flooding at this point. As far as new orleans goes you heard the mayor lifting the curfew there, nathan clean, natural grain and people are back out on bourbon street but here on the eastern side of the center of the storm, the dirty side, as we call it, the worst rain in the worst win in the worst storm surge and that will be a big threat and a lifethreatening threat over the next several hours. The storm itself is pretty small and moving fast and the worst is coming in now and its very possible that it wont be raining here in the Early Morning hours into tomorrow. Kelly that would be a good thing. Where you are standing right now is usually beachfront property, is it not . For seen water, that beachfront. Reporter this is a seawall actually. For at a parking lot of a vote marina and this is a area where all types of locals were coming out prior to the curfew in which the police and forced people people out of there and the splash is good and the scene is good and some locals were telling me they were down here for the thrill of it all and it can be thrilling but it also can be deadly and dangerous. Kelly. Kelly thank you. Patti ann lowlying areas of louisiana will be inundated by nates heavy rain and storm surge. Joining us now by phone is louisiana lieutenant governor, bill lancaster. Thank you. How you doing tonight . Patti ann im okay and we are hoping you are all okay too. Nate, we understand his passing east of new orleans and moving quickly which lessens the chance of prolonged rain but we had those reports of floods in the citys drainage system and are you confident that new orleans will avoid flooding . I think we have a dodged a bullet and we are on the last ring side of the storm and im down in where the finger sticks out in the gulf and we have seen the bands of rain but not a steady rain and that has moved up into new orleans and i think we have dodged a bullet on this one. The mayor lifted the curfew and within the next hour as it goes ashore louisiana dodged a bullet. Patti ann new orleans was under curfew and the mayor lifted it but before it made landfall how is that Parish Holding up . We had a lot of brandnew levies under construction but all the levees because the storm moved so quickly that water did not stay up against the levees but any amount of time and the quick moving storm i believe we dodged a bullet and we didnt see the levees breached, minor flooding into both harbors but nothing real serious and like i said, we made it through this one okay. Patti ann we do have reports that in those lowlying areas there is some flooded streets and the storm surge warning and forecasters say it could go as high as 11 feet and there is that state of emergency but are these mandatory evacuation orders still in place and i know they were put into place not protected by the levees. They are still in place but they wont be lifted until morning because we need to see people traveling back and when there is chance of flooding in lowlying areas but those areas that. Dot water we expect to see because the storm surge nothing really that was unexpected. Patti ann are they headed to shelters . We have some in shelters and we do this so much of lowlying areas most people have a friend of family members that they are all several people in shelters in the north end of those parishes that evacuated and im sure first light in the morning theyll be going back home. Patti ann lieutenant governor, thank you for joining us. Best of luck to you. Still ahead of fox news we are tracking nate as it continues ripping across the gulf coast. Kelly we are checking in live with reporters across the region. Stay with us. I didnt know where i was from ethnically. So we sent that sample off to ancestry.

Y oil thanks to dawn, rescue workers only trust dawn, because its tough on grease yet gentle. I am home, i am home, i am home kelly showed coverage of Hurricane Nate and Hurricane Nate may be as strong as some of the storms seen in recent weeks. This is a category one but it is likely to pack a punch in foxs peter is live in new orleans and peter, what kind of question that have pushed for. Reporter not much where we are here in the French Quarter, kelly. Curfew was only around till about 7 00 oclock until local and thats when mayor said people should be sheltered in a place but they were free to go out in can see there are hundreds of people who are very excited that there is a camera who are now out here and join themselves on the streets of new orleans and there is still a concern in some parts of new orleans or out closer to the water of a storm surge but it does seem like life is getting basically back to normal and again this is a big change from a few hours ago during the curfew our crew walked around the entire French Quarter and there was not a lot of pool activity along the river it was completely empty. We didnt see one person for several blocks that we walked down by some of the landmarks and down by the cathedral, no lights on but that is completely changed and, as you see, it is like almost a here at all, kelly. Kelly appears like a normal saturday night in new orleans. Naturally, for many people who have been watching the storm they were on pins and needles for a while and probably elated to see this kind of response as opposed to what couldve happened at the storm had kicked up its surge and come across those levees. Reporter right. Kelly, everyone here has a long memory and they know exactly what those concerns were with the drainage system in the city and what the pumps all being fully operational in lowlying areas that are not protected by the levees in new orleans that have been repaired since katrina came through and cause such damage but it seems like everyone is starting to come out of their hotels and thats where a lot of people were country down. Hotels, bars and Everything Else was shut down from about 2 00 oclock but in the direction of the hotels we can have eric around here but the hotels are down that way and that is where the steady stream of people have been coming from about the last hour. Again, no rain now and there was never a really ton of rain and the rain was light and there was a gust of wind but as far as we can tell, no damage here in new orleans and the storm seems to be moving away from here toward alabama, toward mississippi and that gives people here many of whom that we have seen large group the parties, other sorts of events to go on as planned on a saturday night. Kelly. Kelly still young in new orleans, enjoy it. That is a sigh of relief for people in new orleans as we can see there because it could have been totally different with a category one hurricane still going up along the gulf coast hitting mississippi, alabama and moving upward. Still a fastmoving storm and will continue to watch how it develops. Thats why we are here tonight providing live coverage. When he returned, the bulk of the store may have missed louisiana, as we just saw in peters report, that does not mean that the National Guard job is done. Patti ann colonel ed busch will join us to tell us about their latest effort, coming up. I am totally blind. And non24 can throw my days and nights out of sync, keeping me from the things i love to do. Talk to your doctor, and call 8442142424. Kelly Hurricane Nate has continued on its path and as it does it the new orleans mayor has lifted the curfew on the city as we told you earlier. Heres the latest from louisiana is colonel ed busch from a Public Affairs officer for louisiana National Guard. Colonel, thanks for joining us. My pleasure, good evening. Kelly looks like louisiana has dodged a bullet with the first landfall from Hurricane Nate is a category one storm hitting just along side but new orleans really didnt get much damage at all but what was the National Guard prepared for in this case . Certainly, we all have memories to go back to katrina so Lessons Learned from katrina are basically its extremely important and critical to reposition those troops and resources that might be needed so that is what we have done over the last couple of days. We brought over 1000 soldiers on duty and aircraft and those key areas where we know the storm might pass and just in case we were needed we can respond quicker. None of us are required to go out and do a search and rescue or evacuation and thats a good thing. Kelly sir, that is a good thing. We have seen just this season alone how deadly these hurricanes have been and it appears, at this present time, that Hurricane Nate is not going to cause any tragedy along the louisiana area but what concerns you have about your neighboring states . That is how it is for these gulf states. Whenever a storm enters the gulf that is the thought that we have and we rolled the dice and so, obviously it wasnt that long ago when we were kneedeep in water and shoulder to shoulder with our neighbors in texas. We tried to help bring them through harvey and sheltered them in louisiana and thats how it is here in the gulf. Its a bond that we have and whenever a sister state needs help, that is what we do. Kelly i can remember and im probably getting the name wrong and correct me if i am but the cajun army or the cajun navy actually going in to and these are private citizens with their votes going into houston to help rescue people from the flood ravaged area of houston, texas and that storm, Hurricane Harvey is much different than this one. Its a bigger storm and it lingered and move slow and dumped a delusion of more than 50 inches of rain on that city. This category one storm quite different moving a lot faster and that has got to give you a sense of relief, ill be at, youre still looking to help out your neighbors along the gulf coast or they need to. Absolutely. The things that storms have in common is the ability to surprise. They are living things almost that can change right before your eyes and just when you thank you have it pegged where they will go and what they will do, nature changes the course or the conditions and suddenly youre dealing with something that you had in forcing. The trick is to plan for the worst implant for everything thats much easier to send people home at the end of the day to try to ring people [inaudible]. Kelly colonel ed busch, thank you for joining us, sir. We are wishing you all the safety that you can have throughout the night and we will wait until don to see how much damage you have received. Thank you for being able to help the people there in louisiana and the other gulf states. Thank you for helping to spread the news. Kelly yes, sir. Patti ann parts of the gulf coast to mississippi are getting hounded by Hurricane Nate. Kelly and we will have the latest one or special coverage continues after this.
