Live action photos show a lone thrill-seeker wade along a flooded Beach Boulevard as the eye of Hurricane Nate pushes ashore in Biloxi, Mississippi.
The category one hurricane flooded the parking garage and first floors of Golden Nugget, Harrahs and other casinos as it made a second landfall on the Mississippi coast.
Video footage shows a storm chaser bravely demonstrating the impact Nate is already having on Mississippi city in footage of rising waters in the Golden Nugget casino.
Nate made its first landfall this morning, the first Hurricane to do so since the devastating Katrina in 2005.
Employees of a Waffle House diner are captured taking a smoke break at their restaurant which sits 75 feet from the beach as Nate continues to lash across the south US state.
Social media images show a blacked-out city with just street lamps and traffic lights flickering on and off as the storm surge brought in nine feet of flooding.
One Twitter user posted a shocking 15 minute time-lapse of the storm surge rising quickly around a red sports car.
Storm Nate made landfall on the US coast near the mouth of the Mississippi River at 7pm CDT, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
The hurricane could cause multiple tornadoes beginning late this afternoon over parts of the central Gulf Coast region.
The destructive storm was approximately 70 miles from New Orleans, according to the NHC’s 7am CDT update.
