During that day the system rapidly developed further and became better defined with gale-force winds developing near the centre, with the JTWC initiating advisories on the system and designated it as Tropical Cyclone 11P at 12:00 UTC (00:00 FST). Four hours later as the system moved closer to Espiritu Santo, the FMS named the system Eric as it had become equivalent to a category 1 tropical cyclone on the modern day 275: 354: 506:
systems destroyed 9,500 homes; many schools, shops and, hotels had to be rebuilt because of the storm. Many recreational facilities as well as may commercial builds were also party or completely destroyed by the cyclone. About 30,000 persons were reported as homeless. A total of 299 farms were affecting by the storm, resulting in nearly $ 2 million in damage; however damage to the pine plantations was minor.

Damage from the airport alone totaled $ 1 million. The west part of Viti Levu as well as some other surrounding islands sustained the worst damage, though interior areas of Viti Levu suffered from severe crop damage. 436:. Ahead of the system making landfall the FMS estimated that the system had peaked with 10-minute sustained wind-speeds of 150 km/h (90 mph). After the system had made landfall the JTWC estimated that Eric had peaked with 1-minute sustained wind speeds of 185 km/h (115 mph), which made it equivalent to a category 3 hurricane on the 545:

During January 22, the Fijian Government outlined their long-term rehabilitation needs and requested international assistance from the United Nations Disaster Relief Organization and other countries. These needs included a 6-month food-rationing project for 10,000 households, a rehabilitation program

Affecting a densely populated part of the island group, Eric brought $ 40 million (USD) in damage and took 25 lives. Extensive wind damage was reported; crop damage from Eric was also severe. Over 200 mm (10 in) of rainfall fell in some places, resulting in extensive flooding. The combined

Eric was the first of two severe tropical cyclones to make landfall, on the Fijian Island of Viti Levu within 36 hours and was also the first of four tropical cyclones to impact Fiji during 1985. Ahead of Eric making landfall on the Fijian Islands during January 17, the FMS issued

and weakened below hurricane force. The system passed about 15 km (10 mi) to the south of the Fijian Island, Moala at around 14:30 UTC (02:30 FST, December 18). The system subsequently exited the Fijian Islands shortly afterwards and was heading towards the

As a result, early on January 14, the 1368: 1186: 805: 2035: 1354: 1377: 1172: 712: 1759: 1749: 1977: 1532: 1754: 1597: 1281: 1835: 1552: 1507: 1502: 1293: 1799: 1774: 1733: 1683: 1607: 1537: 1527: 1317: 1245: 1221: 1233: 238:.
