The National Hurricane Center record lists 19 tropical storms and hurricanes that passed within 100 nautical miles of the islands since 1950. Direct hits are rare, and most of these were weak or passed to the south. The table on this page shows each one.
When was the last hurricane in Hawaii?

What was the strongest hurricane to come near Hawaii?
By wind speed, Iniki in 1992: 130 mph at its closest recorded position. Hurricanes are rated by wind speed only, so a storm with weaker winds can still cause more damage from surge or flooding.
Which decade had the most hurricanes in Hawaii?
The 2010s, with 6 of the 19 storms in the record. A busy decade does not predict the next one, because each season depends on that year's ocean and wind conditions.
Where do I find evacuation zones, orders and routes in Hawaii?
Start with Hawaii Emergency Management Agency. Evacuation zones and orders are set by your county or state emergency management office, not by us. Follow local orders and check your zone before a storm threatens.
