| intense hurricane
Rita was an intense hurricane that reached Category 5 strength (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale) over the central Gulf of Mexico, where it had the fourth-lowest central pressure on record in the Atlantic basin. Although it weakened prior to making landfall as a Category 3 hurricane near the Texas/Louisiana border, Rita produced significant storm surge that devastated coastal communities in southwestern Louisiana, and its winds, rain, and tornadoes caused fatalities and a wide swath of damage from eastern Texas to Alabama. Additionally, Rita caused floods due to storm surge in portions of the Florida Keys. Rita weakened after making landfall, remaining a hurricane until only about 1200 UTC 24 September when it was centered about 35 n mi north of Beaumont, Texas. As a steadily weakening tropical storm, Rita proceeded northward, with its center moving roughly along the Texas/Louisiana border during the remainder of that day. Rita weakened to a tropical depression by 0600 UTC 25 September while centered over southwestern Arkansas and then turned northeastward ahead of an approaching frontal system. The depression lost its organized convection and degenerated to a remnant low early on 26 September over southeastern Illinois. The low was absorbed into a frontal zone later that morning over the southern Great Lakes region.- [Details]
