In the Atlantic, Irene produced moderate rainfall and winds along its path, although impact was greatest in Nicaragua where it moved ashore as a hurricane.[4] A total of 96 homes were destroyed,[39] and 1,200 people were left homeless. The rainfall resulted in widespread flooding, killing three people in Rivas.[40] In neighboring Costa Rica, Hurricane Irene caused more than $1 million (1971 USD, $6.04 million 2018 USD) in damage to the banana crop.[41] The hurricane was the first actively tracked tropical cyclone that moved into the eastern Pacific Ocean from the Atlantic Ocean.[42]
