Topic poll · all networksIs Hawaii prepared enough for storms like Lala?
Hawaii rarely sees direct hurricane hits — Iniki in 1992 was the last.
Hurricane Iniki struck Kauai on Sept. 11, 1992 as a Category 4, killing 6 and causing $3B in damage. It remains the most destructive hurricane in Hawaii's recorded history.
Topic poll · all networksWhat's Hawaii's biggest challenge as Hurricane Lala approaches?
Hawaii has only had 4 hurricanes make direct landfall in recorded history!
The most destructive was Hurricane Iniki in 1992, a Category 4 that struck Kauai, causing $3.1B in damage. Hawaii's isolation and cooler surrounding waters usually weaken storms before landfall.
Kau District contains the southernmost point in the entire USA!
Ka Lae (South Point) in the Kau District sits farther south than any spot in Florida. The remote area — home to Naalehu, Pahala & Waiohinu — is one of Hawaii's most isolated regions, making Hurricane Lala's direct hit especially devastating.
