Hurricane Olivia was a Category 4 hurricane that hit Hawaii as a weakening tropical

storm in September 2018, causing severe flooding and wind damage. Olivia was the
first tropical cyclone to make landfall on either Maui or Lanai since modern
weather records began. It was the fifteenth named storm, ninth hurricane, and sixth
major hurricane of the 2018 Pacific hurricane season. A tropical depression formed
southwest of Mexico on September 1 and strengthened into a tropical storm a day
later. Olivia peaked as a Category 4 hurricane on September 7, with winds of 130
mph (210 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 951 mbar (28.08 inHg). On September 12 the
storm weakened and made brief landfalls on Maui and Lanai, with winds of 45 mph (70
km/h). Torrential rainfall occurred on both Maui and Oahu, peaking at 12.93 in (328
mm) in West Wailuaiki, Maui. Olivia felled trees on Maui, and some homes and
vehicles were swept away by floodwaters.
