Hurricane Rita formed in the Gulf of Mexico on September 17, 2005, less than three weeks after the landfall of Katrina, and threatened the area with another Category 5 hurricane. She became a hurricane on September 21, made landfall on September 23, and dissipated on September 26. Fortunately, Rita was only a category 3 when she hit on the Texas-Louisiana border a week later. Rita prompted the evacuation of Houston, which was the largest civil evacuation in US history.
