Hurricanes In Hawaii
A Hawaiian hurricane is a tropical cyclone that forms in the Pacific Ocean and affects the Hawaiian Islands. Hawaiʻi lies in the central Pacific, where about four or five tropical cyclones appear each year, although as many as eleven have occurred, such as in the 1992 and 1994 seasons; rarely do these storms actually affect Hawaiʻi. Tropical cyclone records were not kept before the 1950s. Earlier windstorms that struck Hawaiʻi were not labeled as hurricanes.
