- Le cyclone Hollanda est un cyclone tropical qui fut actif dans le sud-ouest de l'océan Indien du 6 au 15 février 1994. Sa trajectoire le fit survoler l'île Maurice le 10 février puis La Réunion. Le cyclone Hollanda est considéré comme le pire cyclone tropical ayant frappé Maurice depuis 19 ans, malgré des vents n'ayant guère dépassé les 155 km/h. Hollanda y a détruit 450 habitations — retirant leur abri à plus de 1 500 habitants — et ravagé près de la moitié de la surface des plantations de canne à sucre. Après le passage du cyclone, on chiffre son impact économique à 135 millions de dollars US pour deux victimes. Une semaine après Hollanda, le cyclone Ivy frappait à nouveau l'île. (fr)

The cyclone moved southwestward for much of its duration, striking Mauritius on February 10 at peak intensity with winds of 218 km/h (135 mph). It later passed just southeast of Réunion before turning to the south and weakening. The cyclone became extratropical on February 14 in the southern Indian Ocean. On Mauritius, Hollanda destroyed or severely damaged 450 houses, which left at least 1,500 people homeless. High winds left half of the island without power, and also caused severe crop damage; nearly half of the island's sugar crop was destroyed, which necessitated for the government to assist in replanting efforts. Hollanda killed 2 people and caused $135 million in damage on Mauritius. About a week after the cyclone struck, Cyclone Ivy also affected the area, although to a lesser degree. The highest rainfall from the cyclone fell on Réunion, with 741 mm (29.2 in) recorded at . (en)
