Tropical Storm Nate, which has already killed at least 22 people in Central America, is currently on a path towards the U.S. Gulf Coast and may impact states including Louisiana, Alabama and Florida, ABC News reports.

Another tropical storm is predicted to go up the gulf. When it hits United States it will be a hurricane named “Nate”. This isn’t normal..
