invincible but inevitable i would get it. reporter: he thinks he caught it at an nfl football game. i was like, oh, shoot, forgot my mask. reporter: he is recovering at home fortunately. this is an unprecedented experience. reporter: across the country scenes similar to this. overflow health care workers are struggling to catch their breath as hospitals fill with sick patients, battling a trifecta of respiratory virus, covid, rsv and the flu. sxr we ve seen a real increase in cases particularly since thanksgiving. so covid is up, the flu is up and other respiratory viruses are up as well. reporter: the situation is so overwhelming at u.c. san diego heather they had to create space using tents in parking lots to triage patient. we ve got beds in hallways and the emergency department for patients who have been admitted waiting for hospital beds and we re even reconfiguring conference room space to care for patients in places we would not normally do it. reporter: the hosp
we re about to get official landfall. i m checking the national hurricane center as we speak. it s going to be any second we get the final fall of nate. we just had a 70-mile-per-hour wind gust in biloxi. that s the highest wind gust we ve seen almost up to hurricane strength. notice on the back side how much weaker they are in new pensacol. mobile hasn t been too bad. the strongest winds are in biloxi and into areas in dauphin island sxr with the storm surge is occurring, around pascagoula. you notice the northern eye which was over the top of biloxi before, all this bright red, yellows and pinks intense rain that s almost done. when we go back to kerry once he gets his camera move the prab r rain is probably going to be almost completely stopped. this black line represents where the center of the storm is and we re just coming onshore. we re waiting for word that the center of nate has made
