Guess, then reveal the answer
1992
Hawaii leads the U.S. in rainfall intensity, fueling deadly flash floods.
Mt. Waialeale on Kauai receives ~450 inches of rain per year — one of Earth's wettest spots. Hawaii's steep, narrow valleys funnel water rapidly, making bridge crossings lethal within minutes of heavy rain.
Hawaii has had only 2 direct hurricane landfalls since 1950!
Hurricane Iniki (1992) was the last, striking Kauai as a Category 4 with 145 mph winds and causing $3B in damage. Before that, Hurricane Dot hit Kauai in 1959 — making direct hits historically rare.
