		Hurricane Rita as it approached landfall, Sept. 24, 2005.
		Hurricane Rita's evacuees suffer first from bad timing – Rita made landfall on Sunday, Sept. 24, less than a month after Katrina devastated much of the Gulf Coast – and then a much less visible badge of carnage.
		The differences in the two hurricanes' fatalities and damage numbers is largely attributed to the fact that over the 48-year period, the region became more educated about disaster preparedness but also became more developed, having much more infrastructure by 2005 for Rita to assault.

	June 2005--Rare Active Start To Hurricane Season
		For instance, Hurricane Audrey, which blossomed rapidly in the Gulf of Mexico, and became a Category Four Hurricane as it raced toward landfall in Texas and Louisiana back in 1957.
		Then, there was also Hurricane Agnes, which originally came ashore near Appalachicola in June, 1972 as a Category One Hurricane, became famous for being a major rainmaker much farther inland over Pennsylvania and New York.
		While a quick start to June doesn't necessarily mean a very active season the rest of the way, it definitely isn't a good omen, especially when the overall climate pattern is expected to be normal, and tropical activity is anticipated to be as active as it has been the past two seasons.
