Up to six inches of heavy rain from
overnight thunderstorms brought
extensive flooding and flash flooding
along the Kansas River Valley from near
St. Marys to Lawrence. The 5.61 inches
of rain that fell in Topeka broke the
one-day rainfall record for the city.
Sewers backed up and basements were
flooded in some homes within the city.
A few cars were found floating in the
flooded streets. Water rescues were
made on stranded motorists by
firefighters just northwest of Topeka.
Numerous roads were flooded by deep
ponded water and some were closed by
water up to six feet deep. The Perry
High School football stadium was
flooded by six inches of rain during
the morning hours and school officials
were pumping the water off in an effort
to make the field available for a game
that evening. Fortunately, no injuries
were reported through all the flooded
areas. The heavy rains also forced
gasoline storage tanks to surface
through the concrete pavement of a
gasoline station in Lawrence.

Hurricane Rita came on shore across the
Southeast Texas/Southwest Louisiana
coast and moved north northeast across
East Central Texas and Northwest and
North Central Louisiana during the
morning and afternoon hours of September
24, 2005. The storm weakened as it
moved northward, however, all of
Northwest and North Central Louisiana
remained on the east side of the eyewall
and experienced strong tropical storm
force winds. Damage was sporatic across
the region with damage consisting of
downed trees and powerlines as well as
structural damage to homes, businesses
and automobiles from downed trees. The
damage was particularly extensive along
and near the Toledo Bend Reservoir of
West Central Louisiana where several
structures suffered minor to moderate
damage. Many residents of Northwest and
North Central Louisiana lost power
during the height of the storm. A
monetary amount was not available at the
time of this report.

A tropical depression moving west
through the Turks and Caicos Islands
developed into Tropical Storm Rita on
the afternoon of September 18th. Rita
moved west through the central Bahamas
on the 19th and strengthened into a
category 2 hurricane on the 20th while
moving across the Florida Straits. After
entering the Gulf of Mexico on the 21st,
Rita rapidly intensified as it moved
west northwest. Rita strengthened to a
category 5 storm on the afternoon of the
21st and reached its peak intensity the
next day 570 miles east southeast of
Galveston, Texas with maximum sustained
winds of 175 mph and a minimum central
pressure of 897 mb. Rita turned
northwest and weakened to a category 3
hurricane on the 23rd and made landfall
around 230 AM CDT on September 24th just
east of the Texas and Louisiana border
between Sabine Pass and Johnson's Bayou
as a category 3 storm with maximum
sustained winds of 120 mph.

east of the Texas and Louisiana border
between Sabine Pass and Johnson's Bayou
as a category 3 storm with maximum
sustained winds of 120 mph.
Across southeast Louisiana, the main
affect from Hurricane Rita was the
substantial storm surge flooding that
occurred in low lying communities across
coastal areas of southern Terrebonne,
southern Lafourche, and southern
Jefferson Parishes where numerous homes
and businesses were flooded. Some of the
most substantial damage occurred in
southern Terrebonne Parish where storm
surge of 5 to 7 feet above normal
overtopped or breached local drainage
levees inundating many small
communities. Newspaper accounts
indicated approximately 10,000
structures were flooded in Terrebonne
Parish. Lafitte and other communities in
lower Jefferson Parish also suffered
extensive storm surge flooding. Storm
surge flooding also occurred in areas
adjacent to Lake Pontchartrain and Lake
Maurepas with some homes and businesses
flooded from Slidell to Mandeville and
Madisonville. Approximately 1500
structures were reported flooded in
Livingston Parish near Lake Maurepas.
Repaired levees damaged by Hurricane
Katrina in late August were overtopped
or breached along the Industrial Canal
in New Orleans resulting in renewed
flooding in adjacent portions of New
Orleans and St. Bernard Parish, although
the flooding was much more limited in
areal coverage than during Hurricane
Katrina. The highest tide gage readings
measured during the storm was 7.34 feet
NGVD at Barataria Bay north of Grand
Isle at 11 PM CDT on September 23rd, and
approximately 7.10 feet NGVD on Bayou
Grand Cailliou at Dulac at 0500 CDT on
September 24th. Locally higher storm
surge values may have occurred in
Terrebonne Parish.
Although minimal sustained tropical
storm force winds were observed across
western sections of southeast Louisiana
from the Baton Rouge area south to the
coast, most of the tropical storm force
winds were confined to occasional gusts
in squalls associated with the storm.
The maximum sustained wind recorded in
southeast Louisiana was 42 mph
(36 knots) at the Baton Rouge Airport at
1043 am CDT on September 24th. The
maximum wind gust was also recorded at
this station with 53 mph (46 knots)
occurring at 1006 pin CDT on the 23rd
and 948 am CDT on the 24th.
Rainfall amounts were the heaviest
across western areas of southeast
Louisiana between the Atchafalaya River
and Lake Maurepas where totals generally
ranged from 6 to 12 inches. Rainfall
amounts farther east ranged from 1 to 4
inches. The lowest barometric pressure
measured across southeast Louisiana was
997.6 mb at 1158 pm CDT on the 23rd at
the Baton Rouge Airport station.

Hurricane Rita produced extensive storm

southern Terrebonne, southern Lafourche,
and southern Jefferson Parishes where
numerous homes and businesses were

damage occurred in southern Terrebone
Parish where storm surge of 5 to 7 feet
above normal overtopped or breached
local drainage levees inundating many

Parish. Lafitte and other coummnities in
lower Jefferson Parish also suffered
extensive storm surge flooding. Storm
surge flooding also occurred in some
areas adjacent to Lakes Pontchartrain
and Maurepas with many structures being
flooded in St. Tammany and Livingston
Parishes. Approximately 1500 structures
were reported flooded in Livingston
Parish as a result of storm surge
flooding around Lake Maurepas. Repaired

Hurricane Rita made landfall around 230
am on September 24th in Cameron Parish
near Johnson Bayou as a category 3
hurricane with sustained winds of 120
mph. Wind gusts over 110 mph were
recorded in Cameron and Calcasieu
Parishes. This resulted in numerous
trees and power lines downed. In parts
of Beauregard, Jeff Davis, and Vermilion
Parishes, winds blew over 90 mph. The
remainder of southwest Louisiana saw
wind gusts in excess of 50 mph. Only one
direct fatality has been reported. A
man drowned near a sunken shrimping
vessel near the Calcasieu ship channel.
Estimated damages in southwest Louisiana
total near 4 billion dollars, with the
bulk of that loss in Cameron and
Calcasieu Parishes. Entire towns were
destroyed in Cameron Parish, including
downtown Cameron, Creole, Holly Beach,
and Grand Chenier. An estimated 90 to 95
percent of the homes in the parish were
severely damaged or destroyed--over
5000 residences. Storm surge values are
estimated around 15 feet in parts of
Cameron Parish. The storm surge also
moved up the Calcasieu ship channel,
flooding portions of Calcasieu Parish,
including sections of downtown Lake
Charles near the civic center, where the
storm surge was estimated between 6 and
8 feet. Storm surge also was a
significant problem in Vermilion Parish,
which saw locations 10 ft above sea
level flooded - including all of Pecan
Island, Intracoastal City, and
Delcambre. The storm surge extended
further east, into Iberia and St. Mary
Parishes, where an estimated 5 to 10 ft
storm surge damaged homes along and
south of Highway 90, especially near
Cypremort Point, Bums Point, and
Franklin. M35BO
