Myr Official in Oahu
MYR OFFICIAL: Reposting from Mayor Rick Blangiardi EERILY SIMILAR Nearly 34 years apart, and almost down to same exact day, the paths of Hurricane Lowell and Hurricane Iniki show an eerily similar track. Both storms began forming east of the Hawaiian Islands before traveling west and taking a sharp right turn, north toward Kauaʻi. Hurricane Iniki which struck as a category 4 storm on Sept. 11, 1992, is still considered the most powerful storm to hit Hawaiʻi in modern history. Inikiʻs path of destruction left 6 people dead, $1.8 billion in damage, and nearly 1,500 homes destroyed. Hurricane Lowell has weakened to category 1 strength, but Iniki is a solemn reminder that no matter the forecast, we must always stay prepared and treat every storm as a legitimate threat.
