Nate's powerful winds pushed water onto roads and its winds knocked out power to homes and business.

But Nate didn't have the intensity other storms - Harvey, Irma and Jose - had during this busy hurricane season, and people didn't seem as threatened by it.

No deaths or injuries were immediately reported in the United States, but Nate killed at least 21 people in Central America.
