On this day in 1992, Iniki hit Kauai as a Category 4 Hurricane with winds as strong as 150 mph.

Six people died and Iniki caused almost $3 billion in damage making it the strongest and most destructive hurricane to ever hit the state.

Thankfully with Tropical Storm Olivia weakening, Hawaii is not looking at a repeat.

One of the big differences now is technology and the ability to get information out to the public.

Although Kauai is not expected to get the brunt of the storm, officials urge people to stay vigilant.

While Olivia and Iniki are very different, residents are reminded of that day 26 years ago.

The National Weather Service issued a Tropical Storm Watch for Kauai County.

The Mayor has also signed an emergency proclamation that would provide relief for potential damage and impact caused by the storm.

In addition to our newscasts, KHON2 will air hourly updates on Tropical Storm Olivia on-air and online through the 11 p.m. update from the Central Pacific Hurricane Center.
