[PAR] [TLE] Hurricane Dot (1959) [SEP] Hurricane Dot of August 1959 was at its time the costliest tropical cyclone in Hawaiian history.  Dot was first identified as a strong tropical storm southeast of Hawaiʻ i on August 1.  The storm was potentially a continuation of a previously unnamed tropical cyclone that was monitored west of the Baja California Peninsula from July 24-27, but was never confirmed due to a lack of ship reports.  Dot was quick to intensify, reaching hurricane intensity six hours after naming.  By August 3, Dot reached its peak intensity, with maximum sustained winds reaching 150 mph (240 km/h).  Intensity leveled off afterwards as Dot tracked westward before making a curve towards the northwest on August 5, after which the hurricane weakened at a faster clip.  Dot made landfall the next day on Kauai as a minimal hurricane before dissipating west of the Hawaiian Islands on August 8. [PAR] [TLE] History of Hawaii [SEP] The history of Hawaii describes the era of human settlements in the Hawaiian Islands.  That history begins sometime between 124 and 800 CE, with some theories dating the earliest Polynesian settlements to the 10th or even 13th century.  Around 1200, Tahitian explorers found and began settling the area.  This began the rise of the Hawaiian civilization.  It remained isolated from the rest of the world for another 500 years.
