After Hurricane Rita Hurricane Rita was the fourth-most intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded and the most intense tropical cyclone ever observed in the Gulf of Mexico. Rita caused $11.3 billion in damage on the U.S. Gulf Coast in September 2005. , on September 29, 2005 using a fixed wing aircraft Biloxi Marsh Lands Corporation's environmental consultant and surface manager conducted an additional aerial over-flight of the Company's property.

 Gulf Outlet. According to our environmental consultant, at the time of the aerial survey the area was still experiencing high water levels. The Lake Borgne and Chandeleur Sound shorelines and the interior marshes appeared to be impacted worst from Hurricane Rita than from Hurricane Katrina.

While the property sustained significant damage due to the back to back hurricanes it appears that the vast majority of the acreage is still sustainable. Complete assessment of the extent of damage to the marsh will not be fully completed until water levels recede re·cede 1
