louisiana, mississippi and alabama right now. it s a pretty frightening night depending on where you live for people riding out this hurricane. so let s go back to biloxi to martin savidge in mississippi. we are very near of what is supposed to be a second landfall, and it is really coming down on you. talk to me about that storm surge and what you re seeing. reporter: yeah, it s really, really running now. an indication nate is not onshore, right up along shore here in biloxi. winds are starting to pick up, and they re consistent now. we ve had 50, even close to 73 mile an hour gust. we noticed at least one transformer blew just a few feet away, and scared the daylights out of us. there are indications power has
an hour, that is where it s going to be contained. and that is now moving through biloxi. so biloxi is experiencing the worst of the storm. 85 miles an hour, that s the latest advisory from the national hurricane center. we know where the storm is headed. it s headed to the north and booking at 20 miles an hour. i was with you earlier this morning, this thing was out in the yucatan peninsula. it only took a day and it s made landfall. now within the next hour or so making the secondary landfall here across gulf port and into biloxi. mobile bay will also be seeing storm surge. that water will continue to be pushed up as long as the winds continue to come in from the south. that s not the only problem here. when we talk about storm surge
what you want to do. thank you very much. vincent creel on the phone with me from biloxi, mississippi. we also have a close eye on what s happening in the investigation in las vegas. tonight new details left in that hotel room spotlighted on your screen here by the gunman. still ahead, more information on this piece of paper found inside his hotel suite. money managers are pretty much the same. all but while some push high commission investment products,
last six week. so cnn s martin savidge is live for us tonight in biloxi near where nate is expected to make its landfall very soon. ed lavandera is there in mobile, alabama. but, martin, let s start with you. what a difference. look at that. reporter: you took the words out of my mouth, brooke. it is very close. let me show you the problem that is now readily evident right here. this is the storm surge. you can see it. this is highway 90 right here. and the problem is that water is just roaring up. in fact we ve had to move three times just in the 12 minutes waiting to this live shot. it s clearly going to go over highway 90, and that s clearly the problem for first responders. i m going to keep an eye out because there s one coming this
way right now. it s ankle deep here, it s going to continue rising. and that s always been the big concern right here in biloxi. the high-water level anywhere from 7 to 11 feet of storm surge. a lot of it being driven of course by the winds being pushed onshore. the problem is for these first responders they re not going to be able to get through. they know that, which is why they ve evacuated a lot of these areas along the coastline here. a lot of people would be coming out here just to look. so this is the real reason. this is what the warning was all about. this water is coming up dramatically fast, continuing to coming up. and it s the real worry they have tonight in biloxi tonight, brooke. martin, let me stay with you a little longer. for people just tuning in wanting to know what this storm
