  Hurricane Erin (1995) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hurricane Erin was the fifth named tropical cyclone and the second hurricane of the unusually active 1995 Atlantic hurricane season.
Erin had around 100 mph (160 km/h) winds in a small area of its northeastern eyewall when that part of the hurricane came ashore near Fort Walton Beach, making it a Category 2 hurricane at landfall.
Erin weakened to a tropical storm in southeastern Mississippi overnight on the 3rd and 4th.

 Erin Preliminary Report
Erin made landfall around 0600 UTC on the 2nd near Vero Beach, Florida as a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir/Simpson Hurricane Scale, with estimated maximum one-minute wind speeds of 75 knots.
Several reports of hurricane force winds (WMO-standard 10-minute average) were received from the Bahamas, including 68 and 70 knots during the passage of the northeast part of the eyewall over Cat Island at 0200 UTC and 0400 UTC, respectively, on August 1st.
The hurricane's lowest pressure of 973 mb was reported by the Hurricane Hunters near 1330 UTC and again near 1600 UTC on the 3rd.

Although there was no hurricane watch, the other lead times are close to normal and, based on past experience, should have been sufficient to accomplish the necessary tasks to protect life and property.

Therefore, even though high percentages of slash and longleaf pines were standing after Hurricanes Erin and Opal, their ability to survive hurricane level stresses may be less than other species with the same percentage of trees still standing.
Second, the winds of Hurricanes Erin and Opal (with 85 and 125 mph sustained winds) were not as strong as Hurricanes Camille, Frederick, Hugo and Andrew (all greater than 135 mph).
It is common after a hurricane for urban citizens to decide that trees are a problem and are undesirable in urban areas due to their damage potential.

 NASA - Ozone Levels Drop When Hurricanes Are Strengthening
Whenever a hurricane intensifies, it appears that the ozone levels throughout the storm decrease.
Erin is represented in the middle of the image by a red dot with two "arms." The ozone level within the center of the hurricane is high (depicted in green).
Within the core of the hurricane there is a weak downward motion which brings down ozone rich air from the upper atmosphere into the core of hurricane and therefore increases the total ozone there, while upward lift of atmosphere is dominant surrounding the hurricane eyewall.

 Top Story - NASA LOOKS A HURRICANE’S TEMPERATURE IN THE EYE - April 30, 2002
Hurricane Erin's eye was very warm from the ocean to the top of the lower atmosphere at around 10 miles altitude.
The researchers found that the warmest portion around a hurricane’s eye is approximately 3.5 miles high and that area in the eye corresponds with falling pressure, which is what causes the winds to spiral inward at destructive speeds.
For example, a warm center marked by a large temperature contrast compared to the rest of the hurricane is a sign of a strong storm.

Last year, NASA researchers took the temperature of the eye of Hurricane Erin to determine how a hurricane's warm center fuels the strength of storms.
The warmest part of Erin's eye was almost 21 degrees (Fahrenheit) warmer than the surrounding air, a dramatic difference from the air around it.
This is indicative of the strength of Hurricane Erin, which was a Category 3 storm at this time.
