A severe cyclone struck Hawaii's western islands, with Kauai being hit, on Friday. The event occurred in September. Tourists were told to avoid the island. The storm disabled a port that acts as the main source of supplies and energy for the islands. Over 250 pizzas were flown in to help feed Kauai residents. A second hurricane sideswiped Hawaii in the same year. Reports suggest the islands' typical storm defences appears weakened this year.
