Hurricane Nate gained force as it continues rapidly moving over the central Gulf of Mexico early Saturday after drenching Central America in rain that was blamed for at least 21 deaths.

This NOAA-NASA GOES East satellite image taken on October 6, 2017 at 1130 UTC shows tropical storm activity along the coast of Central America.

Forecasters predicted it will strengthen into a hurricane headed for Mexico and the United States.
