Hurricane Jimena Could Be felt In The Southwestern United States
Hurricane Jimena was the second-strongest hurricane of the 2009 Pacific hurricane season. It is also tied with Hurricane Norbert as the strongest tropical cyclone to make landfall on the western area of the Baja Peninsula. Two days after forming, the storm became a Category 4 hurricane and even grew to become a Category 5 before it finally began to weaken.
The hurricane made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane, killing four people on the Baja Peninsula, and causing $173.9 million in damages across the peninsula. The storm also caused thunderstorms in the Southwestern United States, although that was the extent of the effects in the US.
Hurricane Ike Cost The United States A Lot Of Money
In September 2008, Hurricane Ike came through parts of the Greater Antilles and North America. It caused significant damage to infrastructure and agriculture, especially in Cuba and parts of Texas. It was the third major hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season, eventually reaching the strength of a Category 4 storm in the open waters of the Atlantic until it turned west.
The hurricane changed in intensity before it made landfall in Cuba and again before it hit Galveston, Texas on September 13. Ike is considered to be the cause of 195 deaths with damage costs in the United States reaching $30 billion.
