Hurricane Rita formed in much the same way that other hurricanes form. It originate as a cluster of showers and thunderstorms that moved off the coast of Africa and over the Atlantic. This system at first dissipated, but later redeveloped from the remnant low pressure. Fed by the moisture from the warm ocean water, this system began to strenthen and organize as it moved westward. It developed its own circulation and became Tropical Depression Eighteen. Soon afterward the winds of the system became stronger and it became Tropical Storm Rita. The tropical storm quickly began to intensify as it enetered the Gulf of Mexico, becoming a hurricane and soon a major hurricane.
