Hurricane Nate gathered strength Saturday as it swept towards the US Gulf Coast after dumping rain heavy that killed at least 28 people in Central America. New Orleans, which was ravaged by deadly Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and other US Gulf coast cities were under a hurricane warning. #Nate is now a hurricane – the 9th of 2017 Atlantic TC season – the most in a season since 2012 and tied for 15th most on record. Another powerful storm, Hurricane Maria, ripped through the Caribbean in late September, devastating several islands, including Dominica and Puerto Rico. Central America, the Caribbean, Mexico and the southern United States experience an Atlantic hurricane season every year that runs from June to November.
