After a devastating hurricane season thanks to the likes of Harvey, Irma and Maria, the Gulf now gets to contend with hurricane Nate.
New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu has ordered a curfew beginning at 7 p.m. Saturday until Sunday morning until the storm has passed, as well as a mandatory evacuation of low-lying areas as of Noon Saturday.
The tropical storm has been rapidly intensifying in the Gulf of Mexico, and is expected to make landfall on Saturday night as category 2 as it bears down on gulf resorts and casinos with sustained winds up to 105 mph.

Bloomberg reports:
Hurricane Nate could grow to a Category 2 Hurricane as it bears down on Mississippi’s coastline, threatening to bring $4 billion in losses after killing at least 22 people in floods across Central America earlier this week and forcing crews off energy platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.
The center of the storm is forecast to hit between New Orleans and Mobile, Alabama – areas prone to major storm surge flooding.
The National Hurricane Center is predicting a worst-case scenario of a 7-11 foot surge above ground level in parts of Alabama, Mississippi, and coastal Louisiana. The center issued the following statement:
Nate is expected to bring life-threatening storm surge flooding near and well east of where the center makes landfall, and a storm surge warning is in effect from Morgan City, Louisiana, to the Okaloosa/Walton county line in Florida. Maximum flooding of 7 to 11 feet above ground level is expected in portions of southeastern Louisiana and along the Mississippi coast. Residents in these areas should immediately heed any evacuation instructions given by local officials.
After Nate makes landfall it is expected to bring heavy raine all the way up to Maine by the end of the week.
Big difference between being on the left versus right side of #Nate. We get the latter… pic.twitter.com/ylnxuRmtfa

I guess Drumpf just literally meant quite before the next hurricane
At least a hurricane is not a false flag. Or is it? /extra Fam. Guy Peter/
C’mon sarc. You can pin this one on the Zionists. Where is your fighting spirit?
“But we don’t have time to evacuate , we gotta take down more monuments!” – what good ol Mitch really meant.
