Question: What were the earliest settlements on the island affected by Hurricane Dot in 1959?

<P0-S0> Current Island (also known as Currant Island) was a small town located in Newfoundland and Labrador, offshore from the west coast of the Great Northern Peninsula. <P0-S1>  It was likely first established as a seasonal fishing settlement in the early 1800s. <P0-S2>  The first recorded permanent settlement was in 1869, when there were two families totalling 30 people living there. <P0-S3>  Industries on the island included cod, salmon, herring, and seal fisheries, as well as logging and a sawmill. <P0-S4>  In 1959, an outbreak of tuberculosis on the island affected most of the residents. <P0-S5>  The outbreak, along with poor government services and the depletion of fuel supplies, forced the residents to abandon the town in 1965. <SEP> <P1-S0> Hurricane Dot of August 1959 was at its time the costliest tropical cyclone in Hawaiian history. <P1-S1>  Dot was first identified as a strong tropical storm southeast of Hawaiʻ i on August 1. <P1-S2>  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. <P1-S3>  Dot was quick to intensify, reaching hurricane intensity six hours after naming. <P1-S4>  By August 3, Dot reached its peak intensity, with maximum sustained winds reaching 150 mph (240 km/h). <P1-S5>  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. <P1-S6>  Dot made landfall the next day on Kauai as a minimal hurricane before dissipating west of the Hawaiian Islands on August 8. <SEP> <P2-S0> Hurricane Iniki ( ; Hawaiian: "ʻ iniki" meaning "strong and piercing wind") was the most powerful hurricane to strike the U.S. state of Hawaii in recorded history. <P2-S1>  Forming on September 5, 1992, during the strong 1990–95 El Niño, Iniki was one of eleven Central Pacific tropical cyclones during that season. <P2-S2>  It attained tropical storm status on September 8 and further intensified into a hurricane the next day. <P2-S3>  After turning north, Iniki struck the island of Kauaʻ i on September 11 at peak intensity; it had winds of 145 mph and reached Category 4 on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale. <P2-S4>  It had recorded wind gusts of 225 as evidenced by an anemometer that was found blown into the forest during clean up. <P2-S5>  It was the first hurricane to hit the state since Hurricane Iwa in the 1982 season, and the first major hurricane since Hurricane Dot in 1959. <P2-S6>  Iniki dissipated on September 13 about halfway between Hawaii and Alaska. <SEP> <P3-S0> The history of Hawaii describes the era of human settlements in the Hawaiian Islands. <P3-S1>  That history begins sometime between 124 and 800 CE, with some theories dating the earliest Polynesian settlements to the 10th or even 13th century. <P3-S2>  Around 1200, Tahitian explorers found and began settling the area. <P3-S3>  This began the rise of the Hawaiian civilization. <P3-S4>  It remained isolated from the rest of the world for another 500 years.
