 Ingrid struck shortly after Hurricane Manuel on Mexico 's Pacific coast , creating the first instance of two landfalling tropical cyclones in the nation within the same 24 @-@ hour period since 1958 . The combined impacts of hurricanes Ingrid and Manuel affected two @-@ thirds of Mexico , killing 192 people and causing $ 75 billion pesos ( MXN , $ 5 @.@ 7 billion USD ) in damage . Most of the destruction has been attributed to Manuel , but Ingrid was directly responsible for at least 23 deaths and $ 20 billion pesos ( MXN , $ 1 @.@ 5 billion USD ) in losses . The two storms produced approximately 5 @.@ 7 trillion cu ft ( 160 billion m3 ) of rainwater , equivalent to the combined volume of every reservoir in Mexico . Rainfall from the storm peaked at 20 @.@ 1 inches ( 511 mm ) in Tuxpan , Veracruz . The rains caused widespread flooding that damaged at least 14 @,@ 000 houses and hundreds of roads and bridges . In Tamaulipas , where the storm made landfall , the rainfall damaged crops and flooded rivers . The effects of the storm spread into southern Texas , causing high tides and some flooding . After Ingrid 's onslaught , the Mexican government declared states of emergency in several municipalities . Relief agencies distributed food and other aid to the hardest hit areas , though in Tamaulipas , residents had to rely on assistance from the local Gulf Cartel .
