Hurricane Ingrid Recap

Tropical Depression Ten formed in the southwest Gulf of Mexico on Sept. 12, 2013 and strengthened into Tropical Storm Ingrid less than 24 hours later on Sept. 13, 2013.

As Ingrid meandered around the southwest Gulf of Mexico, it continued to intensify and became the second hurricane of the 2013 season on the afternoon of Sept. 14, 2013.

Ingrid weakened to a tropical storm as it made landfall near La Pesca, Mexico on the morning of Sept. 16, 2013. Coincidentally, the landfall came 25 years to the day after powerful Hurricane Gilbert made landfall at La Pesca on Sept. 16, 1988.

The storm eventually dissipated over the mountains of eastern Mexico early on Sept. 17, 2013.

About the same time Ingrid hit Mexico's Gulf Coast, Tropical Storm Manuel was impacting the Pacific coast of Mexico.

The combination of Ingrid and Manuel led to the deaths of more than 30 people in the country due to flash flooding and mudslides triggered by several days of heavy rainfall.
