Hurricane Manuel, a double-hitter storm that made two landfalls in Mexico last week, left 97 deaths in its wake, and according to Eqecat, an estimated $200 million in insured losses.
The hurricane, then a strong tropical storm, first touched land near Manzanillo, Mexico on September 15 and moved northwest along Mexico's Pacific (western) coast, dissipating the next morning.
A remaining disturbance regenerated Manuel into a tropical depression on September 17 before intensifying to a Category 1 hurricane, packing 75 mph winds, by the next day. The storm came onshore about 40 miles west of Culiacan, Mexico, with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph that radiated with hurricane force up to 15 miles from the center, and tropical-storm force winds out to 60 miles from its eye.
