Question: Niue Hotel was destroyed by a cyclone that formed on what date?
Context: Tropical Cyclone Tam (RSMC Nadi designation: 04F, JTWC designation: 06P) was the first named storm of the 2005–06 South Pacific cyclone season.  Forming out of a tropical depression on January 6, the storm gradually intensified, becoming a tropical cyclone on January 12 and receiving the name "Tam".  Although it was traveling at a quick pace, the storm gained organization and reached its peak intensity with winds of 85 km/h (50 mph) the following day.  However, the increasing forward motion of the storm, combined with strengthening wind shear, caused Tam to rapidly weaken on January 14.  Around that time, it entered the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre in Wellington, New Zealand's area of responsibility.  Shortly thereafter, the storm transitioned into an extratropical cyclone and dissipated early the next day.  Cyclone Tam produced heavy rainfall and strong winds over American Samoa upon being named.  The precipitation caused several mudslides and flooding, which inflicted $26,000 in damage.  The storm also had minor effects on Niue, Tonga, and Futuna. Niue has one museum, installed in Alofi the major city : Taoga Niue Museum.  Taoga Niue Museum replaces the Huanaki Cultural Centre & Museum, destroyed by cyclone in 2004. Severe Tropical Cyclone Tusi was a tropical cyclone which affected the island nations of Tuvalu, Tokelau, Western Samoa, American Samoa, Niue and the Southern Cook Islands during January 1987.  The precursor tropical depression to Cyclone Tusi developed on January 13, within a trough of low pressure near the island nation of Tuvalu.  Over the next few days the system gradually developed further before it was named Tusi during January 16, after it had become equivalent to a modern-day category 1 tropical cyclone on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale.  After being named the system gradually intensified as it moved southeastwards along the trough, between the islands of Fakaofo and Swains during January 17.  Tusi's eye subsequently passed near or over American Samoa's Manu'a Islands early the next day, as the system peaked in intensity with 10-minute sustained wind speeds of 150 km/h (90 mph).  The system subsequently posed a threat to the Southern Cook Islands, however this threat gradually diminished as Tusi moved southwards and approached 25S during January 20. The 1993–94 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was the most active since the start of reliable satellite coverage in 1967, with 15 named storms including one named tropical depression.  Activity lasted from mid-November, when Moderate Tropical Storm Alexina formed, until mid-April, when Tropical Cyclone Odille became extratropical.  Four tropical cyclones – Daisy, Geralda, Litanne, and Nadia – struck eastern Madagascar, of which Geralda was the costliest and deadliest.  With gusts as strong as 350 km/h (220 mph) accompanied by heavy rainfall, the cyclone destroyed more than 40,000 homes and left 356,000 people homeless.  Geralda killed 231 people and left more than $10 million in damage.  Cyclone Nadia was the second deadliest cyclone, having killed 12 people in northern Madagascar and later severely damaging portions of northeastern Mozambique, killing about 240 people and leaving $20 million in damage in the latter country.  In February, Cyclone Hollanda struck Mauritius near peak intensity, causing $135 million in damage and two deaths. Niue Hotel was a hotel in Niue, Oceania, the largest on the island.  It is a five-minute drive from Alofi.  The 32-room two-story hotel was built in 1975, and destroyed by Cyclone Heta in January 2004. Severe Tropical Cyclone Nina was a significant tropical cyclone, which impacted six island nations and caused several deaths.  The system was first noted as a tropical low over the Cape York Peninsula on December 21.  Over the next few days the system moved south-westwards and moved into the Gulf of Carpentaria where it was named Nina, after it had developed into a tropical cyclone during December 23.  The system was subsequently steered south-eastwards by an upper level trough of low pressure, before it made landfall as a Category 2 tropical cyclone on the Cape York Peninsula near Cape Keerweer during December 25.  Over land the system weakened into a tropical low before it regenerated into a tropical cyclone over the Coral Sea during December 28.  The system subsequently moved north-eastwards, under the influence of Severe Tropical Cyclone Kina and an upper level ridge of high pressure.  During January 1, 1993, Nina peaked with sustained wind speeds of 140 km/h (85 mph), as it affected Rennell, Bellona and Temotu provinces in the Solomon Islands.  The system subsequently gradually weakened as it accelerated eastwards and affected Rotuma, Wallis and Futuna, Tonga and Niue.  Nina was subsequently absorbed by Kina, while both systems were located near the Southern Cook Islands during January 5. Severe Tropical Cyclone Heta was a powerful Category 5 tropical cyclone that caused catastrophic damage to the islands of Tonga, Niue, and American Samoa during late December 2003 and early January 2004.  Heta formed on December 25, 2003; it reached a maximum intensity of 160 mi/h and an estimated pressure of 915 millibars before dissipating on January 11, 2004.  It was the first tropical cyclone to form in the area of responsibility of the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre (RSMC) at Nadi, Fiji, during the 2003–04 South Pacific cyclone season. The following is a list of resident commissioners of Niue from its annexation by New Zealand in 1901 to its independence as a self-governing nation in free association with New Zealand in October 1974.  Since that date, the representative of New Zealand in Niue has been the High Commissioner of New Zealand to Niue. Severe Tropical Cyclone Sina was the only named tropical cyclone to develop within the South Pacific basin during the 1990–91 season.  The system was first noted as a shallow depression within the South Pacific Convergence Zone to the west of Wallis Island.  Over the next three days the system moved towards the west-northwest, before it was named Sina during November 24, after it had developed into a tropical cyclone.  Over the next couple of days the system intensified further and developed an eye feature as it erratically moved towards Fiji.  Sina subsequently peaked in intensity during November 26, before the system passed through the Fijian Islands over the next two days as it started to gradually weaken.  Sina subsequently passed just to the north of Tongatapu in Tonga during November 29, before it passed about 160 km (100 mi) to the south of Niue and near the Southern Cook Islands during the next day.  The system subsequently rapidly weakened and became an extratropical cyclone during December 1, before they were absorbed by an advancing trough of low pressure near 50°S on December 4. The 2007–08 Australian region cyclone season was a slightly below average tropical cyclone season.  The season got off to an early start with the formation on 29 July of the first Tropical Cyclone which was not upgraded operationally to a cyclone but was later upgraded to a Cyclone during post storm analysis.  This was the second time that a tropical Cyclone had formed during the month of July.  The other one was Cyclone Lindsay in the 1996-1997 season.  The next cyclone that formed was Cyclone Guba which formed on 13 November with TCWC Port Moresby assigning the name Guba on 14 November which was the first named storm within TCWC Port Moresby's area of responsibility since Cyclone Epi in June 2003.  Guba was also the first cyclone to occur in the Queensland region in the month of November since 1977.
