Hurricanes have made landfall in Hawaii only twice in recorded history: Hurricane Dot in 1959 and Hurricane Iniki in 1992, both on Kauai. The latter was a Category 4 storm that killed seven people, injured more than 100 and caused $1.8 billion in damage, according to the National Disaster Survey report.

One storm name that is returning this year left many newscasters tongue-tied when the name was used in the summer of 2020.
