The power of hurricane Nate has fallen and now is tropical depression after causing floods and heavy rainfall in the southeastern part of the United States, reports Mediapool. 

At least 22 people were killed after "Nate" tropical storm hit Central America, Nova TV reported.

The most severe damage was in Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

Thousands have been evacuated, and damage is yet to be assessed.

According to Friday's weather forecasts, "Nate" will reach the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico and later will become a hurricane and hit the US.

Puerto Rico is facing renewed danger in the wake of Hurricane Maria, as the Guajataca Dam fails under the strain of weather damage and heavy rainfall.

Maria blew up from a tropical storm into a major Category 5 hurricane in barely more than a day, bearing down on Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands that are still bailing out from Hurricane Irma, NBC News reports.

The Trump administration is considering closing down the recently reopened U.S. Embassy in Havana following a string of unexplained incidents harming the health of American diplomats in Cuba, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says.

Maria is expected to become a dangerous major hurricane as it nears the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean, reported BBC. 

The category one hurricane will rapidly strengthen over the next 48 hours and will hit the islands late on Monday, the US National Hurricane Center says.

It is moving roughly along the same path as Irma, the hurricane that devastated the region this month.

In the Cuban capital of Havana over 4000 residential buildings have suffered as a result of hurricane Irma, BNR reported.

More than 3.4 million buildings are out of power after Hurricane Irma hit the US state of Florida yesterday, the BBC reported.

The eye of Hurricane Irma has hit Florida's southern islands as a category four storm, forecasters say, quoted by BBC. 

The storm is lashing the low-lying Keys with winds reaching 130mph (209km/h).

Florida Governor Rick Scott said he was "very concerned" about the state's western Gulf Coast, where the storm is expected to head next.

Hurricane Irma regained strength on Sept. 10 as it began pummeling Florida, threateningalmost the entire southeastern U.S. state after cutting a deadly path of destruction through the Caribbean.

The storm, packing of winds of 210 kph, was upgraded to a Category 4 storm as it closed in on the island chain known as the Florida Keys, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
