Retains identity into the East Pacific, where it strengthens to a category 4 in the open ocean. Weakens to a tropical storm, heads west towards Hawaii and briefly reaches category 1 strength again while passing through the islands. Turns sharply norh, then east, strengthening again to a hurricane, this time a category 2. Gradually weakens to a depression, maintaining tropical characteristics until making an historic landfall in Washington state.

Hurricane Erin

Damages
Causes severe damage to the Cape Verde islands, but elsewhere damage is minimal.

Tropical Depression 6

Gradually weakens and becomes extratropical west of Portugal on September 15. It never affects land as a tropical system, but causes landslides as an extratropical system which kill 1 person in Andorra and 2 in France.

Hurricane Gabrielle
Category: 2 Winds: 100mph Pressure: 968mb Forms north of Felix on the 9th and quickly strengthens to a tropical storm. The much stronger Felix passes to the east of it, flinging Gabrielle to the west southwest. It strengthens to a category 2 hurricane south of North Carolina.
