PASS CHRISTIAN, Ms.– Hurricane Nate blew through the Mississippi Gulf Coast as well.  Most of the aftermath in Pass Christian, Mississippi just happened to be pumpkins, which scattered across the stretch of beach.

Remnants of the pumpkins could be found along Pass Christian beach.  Folks living in the area say all the pumpkins came from a nearby pumpkin patch where the pumpkins weren’t secure during the storm.  The pumpkins blew away, and many were smashed.

For folks like Andrew Bruce they were prepared for a much worse storm and here’s what he had to say.
