Section 7: The Calming of Hurricane Rita, 2005
A very brief summary of Hurricane Rita: Hurricane Rita was the fourth most intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded and the most intense tropical cyclone observed in the Gulf of Mexico. Rita caused $10 billion in damage on the U.S. Gulf coast in Sept. ’05. Rita made landfall on Sept. 24 near the Texas-Louisiana border. In some areas the effects of Hurricane Rita were not nearly as severe as anticipated. Hurricane Rita was influenced in order to save the Gulf from damage by oil and chemical facilities spilling their toxic substances into the Houston shipping channel. Without this calming Language to Nature influence, Rita was on track to head straight up this channel causing massive pollution to the Gulf of Mexico. Hurricane Rita was influenced at the very last moment due to the decision of a colleague to save the Gulf from a potential century of pollution.
