While in the Bay of Campeche, the shrimp boat Celestino Arias was sunken by strong waves generated by Janet after it suffered engine failures.
The stranded ship was heavily damaged by the hurricane's strong winds in the bay, which broke towing lines.
All of the ship's crewmen, which had evacuated the boat after it sunk, were later rescued and brought back to Tampa, Florida.
Along the coast, tides were reported to be 3–4 feet (0.91–1.22 m) above average.
Farther north along the Texas coast, tides were 2 feet (0.61 m) above average, blocking beach roads near Corpus Christi.

Janet made its final landfall in the Mexican state of Veracruz between the cities of Nautla and Veracruz as a Category 2 hurricane at 2200 UTC on September 29.
In Nautla, communications were cut by strong winds from the hurricane.
The strong winds also caused a relief plane to crash, causing five deaths.
Heavy rains in the Tampico, Tamaulipas area added to floods caused by hurricanes Gladys and Hilda earlier in the year.
The resulting flood was reported by the Weather Bureau office in New Orleans to be one of the worst natural disasters in Mexican history.
In Tampico, 16 inches (410 mm) of rain was reported.
The floods contributed to a localized typhoid fever and dysentery outbreak, causing over 1,000 people to evacuate out of the city to prevent further spreading of the diseases.
An additional 36,000 people were being cared for in concentration centers.
Although located south of where Janet made landfall, areas of Veracruz were inundated by strong storm surge, including the city's main streets and port.
Operations along a railroad stretching from Laredo, Texas to Mexico City were stopped, after having just reopened due to Hurricane Hilda.

Farther inland, as Janet dissipated over the mountainous central Mexico, the storm dropped torrential rainfall over the Tamesí and Pánuco River basins.
The water levels in the Panuco River remained above flood stage for four weeks.
In Tampico, the river flooded neighborhoods, forcing cables to be stretched along roads to prevent people from being swept away.
Small boats were also sent to monitor streets.
According to some sources, 800 people died from the floods, with thousands more being stranded in the city.
Tamazunchale was inundated by an overflowing Moctezuma River.
The rains caused a landslide in Colonia San Rafael, killing 12 people.
Heavy rains also impacted Guadalajara, which had previously not been affected by any tropical cyclones earlier in the year.
In Maltarana, Jalisco, the Lerma and Duero Rivers overflowed, forcing 800 people in the town to evacuate.
Farther north, in Sonora, cotton crops damaged by Janet were estimated to amount to $12 million in damages.
Combined property damage in Mexico from Hurricanes Gladys, Hilda, and Janet was estimated to total $200 million, nearly half of the government's 1955 national budget.
Although there were no official damage or fatality estimates, at least 1,000 people were injured and another 100,000 people were made homeless on the Mexican mainland due to Janet.
