  • Hurricane Ella was the first major hurricane to strike Cuba since Hurricane Fox of 1952. The fifth tropical cyclone of the 1958 Atlantic hurricane season, Ella developed on August 30 from a tropical wave located east of the Lesser Antilles. The system intensified into Tropical Storm Ella shortly before crossing through the Leeward Islands, and entering the Caribbean Sea. Ella later intensified into a hurricane, and was a Category 2 hurricane when it struck the Tiburon Peninsula of Haiti. After striking Haiti, Ella continued to intensify, and made landfall near Santiago de Cuba, Cuba as a Category 3 hurricane. Ella rapidly weakened over Cuba, and deteriorated to a tropical storm less than twelve hours later. As Ella remained near the Cuban coastline, re-intensification occurred, and the storm was near hurricane intensity when it had another landfall on the southwest coast of the island. No re-intensification occurred after emerging into the Gulf of Mexico, and Ella made a final landfall near Corpus Christi, Texas on September 6, with winds of 45 mph (70 km/h). Ella rapidly weakened over land, and dissipated later that day. Ella dropped heavy rainfall throughout its path, causing damage in fatalities in several regions, especially Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Haiti. In the wake of Ella, damage was reported at $200,000 (1958 USD; $1.61 million  USD) in damage and 38 fatalities occurred.
