Flooding as storm Nate pummels Louisiana and Mississippi

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.
