	MSN Encarta - Hurricane
		Hurricanes and tropical cyclones form, maintain their strength, and grow only when they are over ocean water that is approximately 27°C (80°F).
		Hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones usually “recurve” in the direction of either the South Pole in the Southern Hemisphere or the North Pole in the Northern Hemisphere.
		Although the hurricane death toll steadily declined in the United States during the 20th century and at the start of the 21st century, the costs of damage soared as coastal populations grew and the value of property outstripped population growth.

	HURRICANE INIKI IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS - September 11, 1992, by Dr. George Pararas-Carayannis
		When Iniki moved over Kauai in the afternoon of September 11, 1992, wind speeds were estimated at 130 mph with gusts to 160 mph, and its central pressure was approximately 945 millibars.
		Iniki was well tracked and average wind velocities and maximum winds were fairly well estimated during its development, or measured by aerial reconnaissance dropsondes during its fully developed phase on the 10th and 11th September 1992 (See the tracks, positions, and satellite thermal data in this report).
		Thus, when the hurricane eye passes close to the tide gauge station, the water level change recorded by the tide gauge is the highest, as the level of the sea responds to the reduction of the barometric pressure.

		Hurricane Iniki was the most powerful hurricane in recent memory to hit the Hawaiian Islands.
		The "Hurricane Hunters" 815th Weather Recon Squadron (USAFRes), Keesler AFB, MS (since redesignated 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron (USAFRes)) sent three WC-130H weather aircraft and a maintenance team to monitor Hurricane Iniki.
		Spawned during an El Nino year, the details on Iniki's path outlined in the 1992 Tropical Cyclone Summary shows Iniki (satellite photo) forming over warm equatorial water, deflected by the normal high pressure system to the northeast, swinging northward as it was drawn into a low pressure system that formed north of the Hawaiian Islands.

	Hurricane Impacts on the Coastal Environment - USGS Fact Sheet
		Hurricanes and extreme extratropical storms cause elevated sea level, known as storm surge, and extensive shoreline erosion and other geologic effects leading to the loss of property and life.
		In Hawaii, Dr. Charles Fletcher and his colleagues at the University of Hawaii cooperated with USGS scientists in a study of the effects of Hurricane Iniki, the most powerful hurricane to strike the Hawaiian Islands this century.
		The home, associated buildings, and vegetation (shown two weeks before the storm in the left photograph [larger version]) were severely impacted in a few hours, leaving the island devastated (shown one week after the storm in the photograph on the right [larger version]).

	Hurricane Damage to Residential Structures: Risk and Mitigation
		Although hurricane winds can exert tremendous pressure against homes, a large fraction of hurricane damage is not from the wind itself, but from airborne missiles such as tree limbs and branches, signs and sign posts, roof tiles, metal siding and other pieces of buildings, including entire roofs in major storms.
		Hurricane Hugo in 1989 was the strongest storm to strike the United States since 1969 when Camille struck the Gulf Coast.

		Hurricane Iniki, which struck the state in 1992, was a much more powerful storm than Iwa.

		She said Iniki's gusts of up to 160 mph stripped trees of their leaves, just as Andrew had done in southern Florida.
		Iniki, with sustained wind of 130 mph, had been expected to go safely past the islands, but it turned north, with Kauai and Niihau, a private island home to about 500 native Hawaiians, directly in its path.
		As it was, the force of the hurricane swept over the western, most lightly populated part of the island, where there are vast fields of sugar cane and pineapples.

	Hurricane Iniki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		With less than eight hours' warning, Hurricane Iniki struck the island of Kaua'i and the Waianae coast of Oahu at about 1:30 pm on September 11, 1992.
		Although individual artifacts and collections in museums or historic sites were damaged, a major consequence of the hurricane was the dramatic alteration in collection environment, resulting in widespread problems of mold, corrosion, and infestation.
		Kaua'i museum, school, and historic site staffs have done a remarkable job in ameliorating these drastic conditions even though each individual had equally difficult personal circumstances; the island was without electrical power, generators were limited in availability, and frequent rain continued to cause problems for structures with roof and window loss.

	A View of Hurricane Iniki from Oahu
		Hurricane Iniki had taken a sharp right turn from its position well south of the state, and was headed north.
		At 6:30am, then, I was in my car heading down the hill to buy hurricane preparedness material at the neighborhood drug store; it quickly emerged that virtually every other person within driving distance had been equally remiss in stocking up on toilet paper, rice, masking tape, batteries, beer and water bottles; the crowds were huge.
		Following the storm, NOAA did an exhaustive response assessment; one of the obvious conclusions was that had the storm hit O'ahu with anything like the force it had when striking Kaua'i, the loss of life and property damage would have been immense.

	The tale of hurricane Iniki. Who is Epicenter?
		We were enjoying the sights on our last day before returning to Seattle when news of an approaching Hurricane (Iniki) came on the radio in the rental car.
		We watched the events from the living room until the radio station announced that power would be turned off when the wind speed reached 45 knots, and that we should expect sustained winds to 165 mph.
		We gathered the six or seven leftover crackers, the small piece of cheese, the drink mixer, a candle, and the last of the rum and headed to the inside wall of the bathroom.
