Hurricane Gert was a large tropical cyclone that caused extensive flood damage throughout Central America and Mexico in September 1993. The seventh named storm and third hurricane of the annual hurricane season, Gert originated as a tropical depression from a tropical wave over the southwestern Caribbean Sea on September 14. The following day, the cyclone briefly attained tropical storm strength before moving ashore in Nicaragua and proceeding through Honduras. It reorganized into a tropical storm over the Gulf of Honduras on September 17, but weakened back to a depression upon crossing the Yucatán Peninsula. Once over the warm waters of the Bay of Campeche, Gert quickly strengthened into a Category 2 hurricane on September 20. The hurricane made a final landfall on the Gulf Coast of Mexico near Tuxpan, Veracruz, with peak winds of 105 mph (165 km/h). The rugged terrain quickly disrupted the cyclone's structure, and Gert entered the Pacific Ocean as a depression near the state of Nayarit on September 21. There, it briefly redeveloped a few strong thunderstorms before dissipating at sea five days later. Gert's broad wind circulation produced widespread heavy rainfall across Central America through September 15–17. Combined with saturated soil from Tropical Storm Bret's passage a month earlier, the rain triggered flooding and mudslides in numerous communities. In Costa Rica, the storm destroyed a national park and had a significant impact on the agricultural and tourism sectors. Much of the Mosquito Coast of Nicaragua and Honduras was affected, and many cities, villages, and crops in those countries were under water. Although Gert's highest winds occurred upon landfall in Mexico, the worst effects in the country were due to extreme rainfall across the Huasteca region, where as many as 31.41 inches (798 mm) of rain were recorded. Following the overflow of several major rivers, catastrophic flooding submerged extensive areas surrounding the Pánuco basin. Tens of thousands were forced to evacuate, and scores of structures were demolished in what was described as the region's worst disaster in 40 years. In the wake of the hurricane, the road networks across the affected countries were severely disrupted, hampering relief efforts in many regions. Government and emergency officials opened shelters and distributed food for the thousands that had lost their homes or sources of income. Throughout Central America and Mexico, 116 people were killed and 16 were left missing, while private property, infrastructure, and farmland were left in ruins, leading to over $170 million (1993 USD) in losses.
