    TC Oli in French Polynesia - Sebastien Hugony, Meteo France

    In the middle of the 2009/10 Tropical Cyclone (TC) season, Oli showed its power in French Polynesia by inducing strong swells and made a direct impact on the island of Tubuai. TC Oli crossed more than five thousand kilometers between 1 February and 6 February while in transit through the Southwest Pacific Ocean.
    TC Oli reached Category 2 status, and passed near Mopelia Island and then to the southwest of the Windward Islands before closing on Tahiti and Moorea late on 3 February.
