Meteorological History
A tropical depression formed near Cape Verde and strengthened into a tropical storm, receiving the name Erian. The storm later strengthened further into a category 5 while making landfall on the Leeward Islands. Erian later became a category 6 and made landfall on Puerto Rico. The storm weakened back to a category 5 while making landfall on Hispaniola. Erian later made landfall in Florida as a category 6 and in Mexico as category 8. After that landfall, Erian transitioned to the Pacific. Erian devastated Hawaii as a category 9 and later peaked as a category 11. Erian made landfall in the Philippines at that same intensity, and hit Vietnam as a category 6 while moving into the Bay of Bengal. Erian then hit India also as a category 6, and moved into the Arabian Sea. The storm later made lanfall in Oman as a cat. 4, and moved up into the Mediterranean Sea.
