GOOD BYE! BE GONE!
Happy holidays to all! [
]
FYI:
It’s been a hurricane season for the history books.
The Aloha State says goodbye today to a 2014 Central Pacific hurricane season that set precedents on several fronts, including three cyclones cranking in its neighborhood at once and a direct hit on the Big Island by Tropical Storm Iselle.
Hawaii Island also had a brush with the Central Pacific basin’s longest-lived system, Hurricane Ana. In all, there were five tropical cyclones in the basin.
“It’s the first time the Big Island had a landfalling system in modern history, dispelling a lot of myths,” said Ray Tanabe, meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Service in Honolulu.
“There were a lot of people who believed a hurricane couldn’t hit the Big Island, that the island somehow protects them,” Tanabe said. “That belief went away.”
The Eastern Pacific had 20 named storms — the highest number since 1992 — in the season which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30.
