This Parking Garage there, thats at the Hard Rock Hotel and casino and, of course, these firefighters and some of the First Responders trying to get through it in biloxi, mississippi there. Thats one of the hardest hit areas. The flooding took the first floor of the casino under water. The Biloxi Fire Department took this video as the firefighters were wading through it. Minutes ago, nate was downgraded to a Tropical Storm. So far is knocked out power to nearly 73,000 customers in alabama, florida, and mississippi. We are tracking the impact of the storm with a team of meteorologists here in atlanta and reporter in mississippi and alabama. Lets begin with meteorologist ivan cabrera, the newest information from the National Hurricane center, what are you learning about the strength of the storm . The good news is no longer tracking a hurricane here. It is now a Tropical Storm with winds of 70 miles an hour, though as ill show you in the current wind gusts, not finding anywhere near that strength. Wind field, were pretty much done. The winds at their peak, 7 0 miles an hour, there is that wind speed at keisler Air Force Base and louisiana, highest wind gust, 89 miles an hour. Cat 2 would be 96. The water did come in. Gulf of mexico did take over in biloxi for quite some time. Along i90, pictures of some of the damage there. Look at ocean springs, upwards of 10 feet. 6 feet at pascagoula, mississippi. So this was a cat 1. Imagine if this was a cat 2 or cat 3, the potential was there for that to happen yesterday as the gulf waters are very warm. What was against this system was the forward speed. It was marching and booking through the gulf. Thankfully that allowed this to stay a category 1. Still the threat of a tornado or two in the next few hours here. The bands tend to have spin in them. So could spawn a quick tornado, and that is why we still have Tornado Watch from pensacola to panama city. That threat will continue over the next several hours. At this point, well start transitioning from a wind event to a rain event that will encompass the eastern u. S. , upwards of 2 half a foot of rainfall in the next couple of days with flood watches in effect with that. All right. Ivan, thank you very much. Well check back with you throughout the show. Talked about what happened in mississippi, how it is lingering a little bit. Flooding, there are Power Outages and he mentioned martin. Martin savidge is standing by in biloxi. Tell us what youre seeing. How have conditions changed over the last hour. Good morning to you. It is improved, no doubt about it. Believe it or not, this was actually the worst hurricane since Hurricane Katrina at least in this part of mississippi. I should straighten that out. And it wasnt as bad as many had feared. There were times they were talking about this could be a category 2 coming ashore. In the end, it was a category 1. Still, you were rocking and rolling as we were, because it was not just the way the water was falling out of the sky and the wind was blowing, but also the way that the Gulf Of Mexico decided to take up residency on the shoreline here, especially on u. S. Highway 90. That is one of the great concerns they have had because they knew that that highway, such a thorough fare, east and west, it would cut off a major route. There was also flooding in the casinos here in biloxi. Three in particular. The hard rock, the imperial, and im going to lose my thought on the other one. But the Golden Nugget, thanks very much. The good news is that it looks like the water got primarily into the Parking Garages and into the public spaces, so thats the entryway areas, the ones closer to the ground. However, were being told there was no flooding in the gaming area. So thats good there as well. There was one dynamic rescue in harrison county. A family in a car that turned in some water, they used a high profile truck, got everybody out, theyre okay. And on top of it, there was a fire they had to deal with. But, again, no injuries here and back side of the storm is already starting to push away. So it is going to improve, daylight will tell us the real story here. There is a lot of debris on it. So theyll have to send trucks down there first before the public starts driving on it. And well see what the morning brings. You hold up so well through all of this. Thank you so much. Were glad everybody is okay. Alabama is feeling nate now. Ivan was talking about mobile. And wind and the rain theyre getting. Guess whos there . We have ed lavandera there in mobile. What are things look like where you are . Reporter good morning, guys. That wind and rain is already started dying down as the center or what used to be the eye of the storm has passed to the west of where we are. A little north now. So were starting to see the back side of the storm and that will bring the rain and windfall significantly down. Really the story we have seen throughout the night here is the story of the storm surge. Were on the edge of mobile bay. Behind me you can see the water still pushing north in the storm surge is really going to be something to as the daylight takes over here in the next couple of hours, to be able to get a better sense of just how significant the damage is from our Vantage Point over here, storm surge has pushed water out over the roadways here, just to the just to the west of where we are, so that would be on the eastern edge of downtown mobile. So hard to get a sense right now, mobility is a little limited into what we can see and just how widespread that will be. I dont think there is any question that there is water on roadways, and low lying areas, the question is just how many homes have taken on water, how many businesses have taken on water. A lot of that is assessment cant take place until the brunt of the storm has fully passed and then daylight kicks in, and that will give teams the ability to assess that situation and just to see how widespread the flooding situation and where the storm surge pushed water into, once we get that daylight, well be able to better assess that. We heard from martin in biloxi, that there was just one rescue, no reports of injuries. What are you hearing from officials there in mobile . Reporter havent heard anything like that. We saw, you know, very few people out and about. So, you know, in the mobile area, we havent heard any of these major reports. You never know in some of the outlying areas if there were people who trapped in homes, maybe wanted to try to get away in some kind of way. Havent heard anything major like that over the overnight hours. Ed lavandera for us in mobile, alabama. Well learn more about the impact as the sun comes up and officials get out to fan out across some of the communities there. Thank you so much, ed. We are going to talk more about the coverage of now Tropical Storm nate and the impact all morning long. Lets turn to the president. President trump talked about talked about a lot with reporters last evening, including his relationship with the Secretary Of State, Rex Tillerson and his Chief Of Staff, general john kelly. And what he plans to do about north korea. Well talk about that. Also, the las vegas gunman left behind key calculations pertaining to his massacre. What these numbers authorities now believe mean as new details emerge. And the scandal with Harvey Weinstein, talked about growing rift, at least the reports of that growing rift between himself and the Secretary Of State Rex Tillerson. That was after the secretary reportedly called him a moron and talked about the future of white house Chief Of Staff general john kelly. John kelly is one of the best people ive ever worked with. Hes doing an incredible job. And he told me for the last two months he loves it more than anything hes ever done. Hes a military man. But he loves doing this, which is Chief Of Staff, more than anything hes ever done. Hes doing a great job. He will be here in my opinion for the entire seven remaining years. No, no, he likes secretary tillerson. So do i. We have a very good relationship. We disagree on a couple of things. Sometimes id like him to be a little bit tougher, but other than that, we have a very good relationship. The president reiterated his wish to strike a temporary deal with democrat opens obamacare that he says is exploding. He wouldnt clarify his Calm Before The Storm Comment and what that meant, nor would he explain his tweets regarding north korea. When he said only one thing will work. Although he criticized Harvey Weinstein with the sexual allegation claims against him, he dismissed his own remarks about women leaked in an Access Hollywood Audio Recording Last Year as locker room talk. Look at this, this new Ap University of chicago poll, finds the president , we dont have it on the screen yet, but President Trumps Approval Rating is now at 32 . Back to the Breaking News this morning, what is now Tropical Storm nate over the gulf coast, causing some serious flooding you see here. Martin savidge is watching from the storm from biloxi, mississippi, where some of the pictures were taken. How are you doing, martin . Reporter were doing better. There was a storm surge and that was a big fear they had in this area. Anywhere from maybe 7 to 11 feet, whether it lived up to that, still remains to be seen. But no question the water just came surging right out of the Gulf Of Mexico. In fact, there was a time we were set up across the street to show you some images there, and it just got too bad. Well be back with more in a minute. Also, Key Information revealed on a note the las vegas gunman left behind. You see that in the circle there. What his handwritten calculations tell investigators about his plot to massacre innocent people. Kevin, meet your father.

Breaking news this hour, nate is now a Tropical Storm. It made landfall twice overnight. First in louisiana, then mississippi, each time a category 1 hurricane. This is the first hurricane to make landfall in mississippi since Hurricane Katrina. That was in 2005. This storm is bringing strong winds and heavy rains. Look at this. There is some major flooding in some areas. This was taken inside the Golden Nugget casino in biloxi, mississippi, there. I would not want to be stuck in that. Kudos who got a shot of that. More than 72,000 customers do not have power, not just in alabama, but the florida panhandle, mississippi as well. As storms expected to weaken as it continues to move further inland, which it is doing right now. Were seeing more of a problem that nate is causing since landfall. Watch this. You can see the surge is halfway up inside this entrance. There is some escalators straight ahead. There is the surge halfway out the door. Storm surge is no joke. This is what they warned about. Im only about maybe six or seven steps in, all the way up to my ankles. Goes further back, the road dips further back. Really, really rolling now. And an indication clearly that nate if not right on shore, right up against shore here in biloxi. There was Martin Savidge. This is the bay of biloxi. You see the big gap, thats the eye of the hurricane. Thats the center of the storm. The highway 90 will be will have to be cleaned before we can access it again. We have a lot of Power Outages around here. But thats to be expected, i guess. We have been watching this storm, it is one of the quickest moving storms on record, maybe the fastest. By the time the sun breaks, it ought to be pretty day. Ivan cabrera tracking Tropical Storm nate. Ivan, we are seeing some images of what happened as it hit. How much life does this thing have in it and what will it do as it moves up the coast . I think it will be a Big Rain Event for the southeast and this is going all the way up to boston. It will be rain, not so much wind. Fascinating storm and we do have it official now, this is the fastest moving forward speed storm in the Gulf Of Mexico. And anywhere from 25 to 30 miles an hour, the reason for that, we had an area of low pressure, and push this thing very quickly and thankfully quickly to the north because if it had meandered here for a while, conditions were favorable for this to intensify, which is what we were worried about. At this point, on the other side now, this is a Tropical Storm, so the wind field has diminished. Still gusty winds, especially the outer bands here that continue to move to montgomery. Ill switch over to the radar, see that more clearly and the center of the storm was the eye there. The band is moving through montgomery and look at the feeder bands continuing to pull that tropical moisture up. Thats why the storm on the eastern half is certainly healthier now than on the western side with the dry air getting pulled in on the other side. Still a problem with the Tornado Watch, still going to watch this closely. Get the feeder bands rolling in, a lot of difference in wind speeds at the surface and up above as it begins to fuel that friction, rotating thunderstorms, well watch for that, numerous tornado warnings. Well see if any of these materialize, touch ground. That threat remains here. And now well transition into a Big Rain Event, the front continues to push to the north and the east, and well take a look at some the official track for the National Hurricane center as this thing is going to really get going to the north and east and move rather quickly as well as it gains wind speed here. The track at this point is basically where the rain is going to be. You dont have to worry about winds at this point. I dont think that will be an issue for you. Well have gusty winds, but the accumulating rainfall here which by the way, a lot of folks in the southeast are saying bring it on. We had some significant issues, lack of rainfall, we had rain since the last storm system. Some areas, beneficial, i think that will also allow for this, not to be a huge flood event, still flood watches in effect, but if we had been raining here for you, a couple of weeks at a time this would be a bigger factor. Look at that windchill into the northeast. As it does so, it is going to do that rather quickly. By monday, this thing monday into tuesday, completely out of our hair. Were not done with nate yet. Big cities could be impacted today and you say the beginning of the week. I wonder, ive learned fr from weather there is another disturbance out there. What is the concern for another u. S. Landfall . Any . None at this point here. Dont have to worry about that. One at a time, please, right . Ophelia would be the next one. The disturbance is out in the middle of the atlantic. Im not worried about it at this point. Hopefully nate will be it. Hurricane season continues through the end of november. With each passing week, chances for that continue to diminish, hopefully n will be it for 2017, already just a horrific year. It has. We hope so. That n is it. Youre right. Ivan cabrera, thank you so much. Back to mississippi. Still feeling nate, seeing the storm surge there, cnns Martin Savidge is standing by in biloxi. Biloxi got the worst of it, maybe in the clear now. Tell us what is happening there and officials had to get out and really find out more about the impact overnight. Reporter i hope nate is the last of it. Ive had enough of these hurricanes and im sure many people have as well. Theyre doing better here. Storm surge was the real concern. Remember, this was a storm they feared might come across as a cat 2. In the end because of the speed across the gulf, it came in as a category 1. Four or five hours ago it was really, really blowing and you saw how the water just came up. It surged out of the Gulf Of Mexico, across u. S. Highway 90, the one that runs along the coastline here, and then it got into some of the casino areas. Biloxi is very big on that. And it looks like the water got heavily into some of the parking decks, also the public spaces, but were told it did not get into any of the gaming areas. These casinos were devastated by katrina in 2005. They made a lot of changes. So right now theyre going to look and see what daylight brings. We have Tens Of Thousand S of people without power along the mississippi gulf coast. We know that. There is one high water rescue that had to be made, a family in the car, turned down the wrong road, they were picked up by a high profile vehicle. They had to deal with a fire at the height of the storm. They did that. No reports of any injuries. But 90 was flooded. It is drained off now. But they have to inspect the whole highway and get trucks to clear debris. There say lot of debris out there including one portapotty we saw go floating by. And all, i think theyll say it was not as bad as they feared, but theyll wait until daylight to make the final call. All right, Martin Savidge for us there in biloxi. Martin, thank you so much. Storm chaser reed timer talked to cnn last hour about the damage that he saw in mississippi. Take a look. The main issue this storm was that storm surge. The water was several feet deep, just in front of some areas of biloxi, the eastern side of the island, just before the eyewall came in, we saw a wall of water, waves on top of it, come over this wall of bushes, and then just inundate the eastern side of the island. The winds were gusting to about 75 miles an hour, maybe a little stronger than that. So thankfully the winds werent as strong. The surge wasnt as high as it could have been. Still category 1 hurricane, it shows you how storm surge prone this part of the central Gulf Coast Region is, even with the category 1 hurricane, you still had waters that were several feet deep. You had vehicles that were floating by, some areas, and definitely very high level of storm surge with this storm. One of the officials did say that they would be worried about what kind of debris and what kind of mess they would see along the beach at daylight. Always the concern as well of downed trees and we did mention some Power Outages. Have you seen any damage to structures or anything like that . We did see some minor damage. There were some signs that were damaged, trees that were down, didnt see power flashes off in the distance as well. But the main damage was mainly that storm surge, the water levels are still too high to leave this area as well. Were inside the hotel. Right now, our vehicles are up to the second floor of the Parking Garage, those vehicles are parked on first level were floating away. We did see some boats too that came apart, floating by as well. There was some damage, but it wasnt nearly as bad as it could have been. So that was the view from mississippi. We want to check in on how louisiana is faring. They were the ones on alert as well. Lets bring in louisiana Lieutenant Governor billy nungesser. Thank you for being with us this morning. What is your headline for louisiana . Well, we dodged a bullet on this one. Im down at plaquemines parish, the point of the finger of louisiana that sticks out in the gulf, got nipped by the storm. We saw very little damage. The levees werent topped, a little water in the boat harbors, but we dodged a bullet on this one. Lieutenant governor, are you having any issues with Power Outages for the folks in lieu lieu . We have had none down here in the parish, which usually loses power first, because were sticking out in the gulf. The mayor lifted the curfew in the french quarter. People were back in the streets late last night. So we really feel for our people on the gulf coast, but we in louisiana really dodged a bullet here and so little to no damage. So we have this report from biloxi of one family that was rescued, still waiting for reports from mobile, reporter there. But for louisiana, any reports of injuries or rescues necessarily . No, we had buses and national guard standing by and participated. We anticipated some of these brandnew federal levees in South Plaquemines that Dont Have Grass on them yet, raw dirt, possibly losing the levees, but they all held up. No rescues. We really made out good in this storm. So just for, you know, people who may be watching and wondering, i know that late last night there the mayor was saying there was still a threat of a storm surge for areas outside of the levee protection. Has that diminished for you as well . Youre not concerned about any sort of surge at all . Not anymore. It is passed since that storm has gone ashore. If that storm had jockeyed more to the west, it would have been a whole different picture here in louisiana. And it shows you how Little Movement can really mean a lot for a city, a town and especially the coast of louisiana. Were so glad everybody there is safe. Good news all around for louisiana. Lieutenant governor billy nungesser, thank you for checking in with us. Thank you so much. Have a good day. You too. Take good care. Lets talk about the new clues about this las vegas shooter. What investigators now are learning from this handwritten note. Remember, we discussed the numbers that were on that pad that is highlighted on your screen. Well, now they think they know what those numbers mean. I love you, couch. You give us comfort. And we give you bare feet, backsweat, and gordos. Everything. I love you, but sometimes you stink.

Paddock killed himself after killing 58 people who were at that festival, 500 nearly were injured. He had an arsenal of rifle and 50 pounds of explosives there in his car. Vice president pence spoke to survivors and the loved ones of people who were killed. Listen. In america, we mourn with those who mourn. We grieve with those who grieve. And i stand before you today on behalf of my family, and every family in america, to say we are with you, today we are all vegas strong. Our Stephanie Elam is in las vegas with more as we get back to the Investigation Portion of this and what those calculations really mean in trying to establish a motive here. Calculations, thats what investigators now believe that the numbers written on the note pad found in the shooters suite were. This was first reported by cbs news, but what they believe is that there were calculations related to distance and trajectory from the window of the shooters suite on the 32nd floor down to the venue. Of course, having this one piece of information doesnt help at all with the motive, which is the one thing that is still very much frustrating investigators. They still say it is unclear why the 64yearold man would do such a heinous crime. They do not know why he would do that. But we do have a little bit more information about the man who may have really helped stop this from being a much more tragic event, hard to believe we could think of that. But here is what theyre saying jesus campos did. He was responding, because he works for mandalay security, he was responding to an open door alarm on the 32nd floor, several doors down from where the shooter was staying. It had nothing to do with the shooter, but when he came upon that floor, remember, the shooter had cameras out in the hall, they believe the shooter saw him on the camera and started to engage with him, shot through the door, Hitting Campos in the leg. But because of campos quick reaction, he radioed down to security, they were able to tell police where this shooter was, on the 32nd floor, if it hadnt been for him showing up on the floor and also making that call, it could have taken First Responders much longer to figure out which floor the shooter was using to rain down bullets on the concert venue. So wrinkle, huge detail there that this could have been a much worse situation had it not been for jesus campos. Stephanie elam, cnn, las vegas, nevada. Thank you so much, stephanie. Now, want to tell you about some White Nationalists that went back to shacharlottesville virginia. A rally in the same place where the violent protests happened in august. According to wvir, this was a much Smaller Group than the one that was there in august. Lasted for a few minutes, no violence. They stood in front of the robert e. Lee statue that first started the trouble, the protests a few months ago. And now has a shroud covering it. Government officials reacted pretty quickly. The mayor tweeted this, another despicable visit by neonazi cowards, youre not welcome here, go home. Were look at all our legal options. Stay tuned. This from Virginia Governor terry mcauliffe, were monitoring the situation as we continue to oppose the racists and their message of hate. Cnns Brooke Baldwin spoke about this group this gathering, with professor mark lamont hill. He said the rally was notably different from augusts rally there in several ways. Watch. Reading about this, you know, 20 minutes, much smaller crowd, seemed like not violent, but still they were back. They were back. They are very committed to the idea of saying that this Statue Removal is a problem. They also decry the loss of white rights. The republican politicians are defending white rights, white interests, this is a white nation, needs to be protected. Typical White Nationalist rant you heard there, but the crowd was much smaller, response was a little bit different, the mayor said all the right things. This is different from a few weeks ago. We dont want to also diminish how significant it is particularly when they scream well be back. You talk about terrorism, this is domestic terrorism, thats a kind of threat, when the klan says were coming back, thats always been a threat. This is no different. They said they would be back the last time. When we covered in august. We remember the way President Trump responded and responded again and then he was, you know, extraordinarily criticized of this whole on both sides comments. Do you hope that he weighs in . Do you hope his response is different this time . Yes. I actually do hope that he responds. And i hope he gives the ideal response. Ideal response is, similar to the mayor, this is despicable, no place for this kind of ideology in our nation. It exists, we hate it. Thats all we have to say about it. We dont have to give this more oxygen than it needs. Thats what the white house should say. What trump will say, who knows. I really like the tiki torches, who knows what hell say. Id like to see leadership here. I think one thing the white house learned from the last time, they couldnt ignore this. Many times trump says things that people find offensive. He had to say something. He said the wrong thing. He doubled down on the wrong thing. Then tried to come back and just last night, donald trump jr. Comes back and tries to defend the comments. It is an interesting moment in time for this to happen. This time around, the white house will be much more measured, more careful, and hopefully give a better response. What is your huge weekend in charlottesville, bicentennial, tons of people in town. I hear you and saying, you know, Dont Downplay it, it is horrendous that the people showed back up, do you see it a positive they came through with their tiki torches and that was that . The worst Case Scenario was much worse than this. We could see violence. We dont want to see another death. Im happy they came, they marched, and no one said much about it. The fact they didnt have a huge crowd was also significant. The fact there wasnt a big uproar is significant. Im happy about that stuff. We have to remind ourselves that this is a sector of the american public. Many people didnt believe this number of people would have come out. Certainly not the number of people that came out last time. But important we cover it, talk about it, and know this san artifact of a much bigger cultural moment in the united states. And so i hope we keep talking about it, we dont give it too much oxygen. Were doing a good balance of it right now. Hopefully the white house follows that lead. Well see if they do. Stay tuned to the twitter. To the president. Eyes glued. Thank you so much. Thank you. Also a statement from the Charlottesville Police department, they said that city officials, State Officials will be working with them to see if any legal action can be taken in response to the event. Well, Saturday Night Live got real serious, paying tribute to the victims of that Las Vegas Massacre and they did so with the man who was on stage as the gunshots started. Country music star jason aldean. I wont back down hey baby well, nate is now a Tropical Storm this hour after it made landfall and did so twice overnight. First in louisiana, and then mississippi. And it did so as a category 1 hurricane. On the phone with us now, lee smith is an Executive Director for the mississippi Emergency Management agency. Hes in gulf port, mississippi. Good morning to you. Good morning. So, give us the larger picture here. The headline there is storm surge. What damage has been done by that storm surge . What are you seeing . Well, well start our thorough Damage Assessments when the sun comes up this morning. But i think that the overall damage is going to be negligible, because of the very good Rebuilding Efforts with the Building Codes that we had after Hurricane Katrina. So primary focus this morning on doing Damage Assessments with respect to the storm surge will be over in jackson county. Which got the brunt of surge. We had reports throughout the night of some damage, but, again, 70mileanhour winds and darkness, it is difficult to tell the extent of the damage. Thats our number one priority as the sun comes up this morning. What about rescues . Were there any calls for people who were in need . We had two high water rescues throughout the night, one in pascagoula, mississippi, which is jackson county, one in gulf port, mississippi. People who did not adhere to the curfew that was out. They were successfully rescued, so other than that, we have no reports of any injuries, certainly no deaths. And for the most part people did adhere to our 7 00 p. M. Curfew. How about Power Outages . Right now we have reports of 40,000 Mississippi Power and light customers without power. We have not gotten a good look from our cooperative Power Association right now. We did have 800 line men on stand by last night. They have started moving into the impacted areas now. So we dont expect widespread Power Outages throughout the day today. I think they have got very good crews and theyre starting to work now. We should see the number of customers without power drastically dropping off as the morning goes on. You talked about how you havent had a lot of problems because you think people really took precautions, they heeded the warnings coming in. I dont know if we can pull that video up of the casino that did flood. And it had some there were a couple of cars sitting in this Parking Garage. And we couldnt help but wonder who would leave their car, there is a truck, looks like lights are blinking because it may be going off, but the at alarm, another car sitting there. We know that these have been rebuilt, another car, but on an upper level, why would somebody leave a car on a lower level of a Parking Garage . I have absolutely no idea. These garages were designed to accommodate storm surge, so thats why there is nothing but Parking Spaces on the lower levels of those casinos. It is unrestricted parking there. So people could have parked on the upper deck, so my staff and i continue to wonder that. We saw that. There is absolutely no reason. The only thing we can think of is those people simply werent around, maybe parked their cars and went out of town, we dont know. But it is inexcusable, and, again, thats why when we move the Gambling Casinos inland after Hurricane Katrina, one of the things they had to build to was 15 feet of base load elevation, so parking below 15 feet of sea level. So there should have been no vehicles left there unattended. I do have an update on the Power Outages that i just now got in. 80,000 in our electric Power Associations without power. And right now we got a good look at 187,000 without power in the southern part of mississippi. 187,000 across southern mississippi. And thats in addition to the other 80,000 Mississippi Power and light. And we have private electric power cooperatives and theyre reporting 80,000. Again, we do have very robust crew of lines men, so we expect that the Power Outages to be greatly reduced now that the winds have died down and the sun is coming up. Thats a significant increase, more than a quarter million in mississippi alone. There are line men out trying to get those folks back online. Lee smithson, thank you very much for that update. We have this now in from Dauphin Island, alabama.
