Estimates by me may differ from official reports Hurricane Rita was the 3rd of 4 hurricanes in 2005 to maker a major hurricane landfall in the US. It started off near the Bahamas and moved just south of Florida. Rita then rapidly intensified into a strong category 5 before slowly weakening. The storm made landfall on the Texas-LA boarder with winds of 115 MPH. - Tags: #Hurricane #HurricaneAnimation #HurricaneRita #Rita #Weather #TropicalCyclone #Meteorology #2005Hurricanes #Category5
