That boat appears to be the East jetty in Gulfport Harbor. Probably an oops or insurance fodder.
Actually Nate was moving so fast, not much damage. We never lost power. All of the boats in my Marina had ZERO damage.
The storms "eyes" passed over me, Diamondhead, MS at 11:30pm. On the west side of Nate, I would have enjoyed the 20 knot winds for a nice sail.
It was a "East side" storm. As soon as Nate hit shore is was like a two propeller boat.
Port ahead Full. [ no land friction from little wind]
Starboard Back Full. [ big wind resistant ]
Nate went from North to North East within 30 minutes.

Note: On mainstream media wind speed reporting....
The maximum wind speeds are normally found where barometric pressures are at 850 millibars.
Normal sea level pressure = 1000 millibars. [where my house and boat are located]
So...
The media kept looking for the sustained Cat 1, 85 mph winds forecasted. Didn't know why the high winds never hit
The worst I heard was 60-65 mph as Nate was zipping [
] through. [ pssst it is water surface friction drag]
Remember you can tell altitude by Barometric Pressure. Hurricane Hunters drop a buoy from 200 millibars to 1000 millibars passing through a storm.
Storm surge of an average of 6' was the issue for Nate.

PS: Tropical Storme Cindy, which passed through here this year, had more winds.
