Tropical Cyclone |
United States |
Hurricane Rita hit the Texas-Louisiana coastal region. The storm created significant storm surge of at least 4.6 m (15 feet) and wind damage with some inland flooding in the Florida panhandle, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Prior to landfall, Rita reached a pressure of 897 mb. In the Louisiana Parishes of Cameron, Jefferson Davis, Terrebonne and Vermilion, the storm surge caused sugar cane crop losses near $300 million (Reuters). A 2.4 meter (8-foot) storm surge in New Orleans overtopped the provisionally-repaired levees (from Hurricane Katrina damage) and caused additional flooding. NOAA reports that Hurricane Rita caused $11.3 billion in damages and 119 deaths.
