Hurricane Anita - Aftermath

Aftermath

The name Anita was retired following this storm, and will never be used for an Atlantic hurricane again. Due to a naming change in 1979, it was not replaced by any particular name. Shortly after the hurricane made landfall, the government of Mexico sent two trucks of food to the areas of greatest impact. Additionally, officials permitted full use of the Mexican railway system to facilitate the distribution of aid. Three municipalities were also declared disaster areas following the storm. In Texas, the combination of moderate rainfall and high tides into low-lying marshland led to a mosquito outbreak near Galveston following the storm.
