Well, if it wasn't bad enough that we have a current continuous lava flow in Hawaii (Big Island), now we've got Hurricane Lane headed our way in a couple days. Forecast indicate it may be a direct hit in certain areas. Wish us the best !!!

Aloha and Mahalo (Thanks) !!! o:)

    Looks close to Oahu on Friday. Forecast wind for Oahu Friday is "H" (74 - 110 mph). That suggests cancelled flights.
    The red "Hurricane Warning" means that hurricane force winds (> 110 mph) are "expected" (chances > 50%) on Oahu Friday.

    It is forecast to stay at hurricane strength "M" (> 110 mph) until slightly south of the big island,
    and the red "Hurricane Warning" for the big island means hurricane force winds are "expected" (chances > 50%) on land.

    Tuesday winds were 160 mph (sustained for a 1 minute period), Category 5.
    The wind speed has dropped to 145 mph as of Wednesday 5pm, so it's following the forecast so far.

    The 8-22 5pm update above now shows Oahu, Maui, etc. as red "Warning", so winds > 100 mph are expected.

    Mrs. r95 just sent me this pic of Target in Kapolei. She said there’s no water or food left on the shelves. While in checkout a lady behind her was crying cuz she didn’t get any water. My wife felt bad for her and gave her a 24-pack....

    Can't you just put a bucket or pot out in the rain and get drinking water?????????

    Went to Costco in Kahului late yesterday, inside the store things went surprisingly fast.... but the gas station was a big mess. I'm more worried about losing power, and tree fallings then anything else. We always keep a supply of the standard stuff.

    My wife is in Kaua'i on business, she was supposed to fly to the big Island today and spend the next few days there before heading back but instead thought she would come home early and booked a flight back to the mainland for Friday. She is most likely going to get stuck I think. Her original itinerary had her coming back Sunday and I think she would have been better off with that! Oh well...she is in a hotel and will be fine. By the time Lane reaches where she is at it should be diminished.

    On a funny sort of note (for she and I anyway) one of her favorite movies is the 80's classic Better Off Dead and the main characters name is Lane.

    This morning my Mom insisted on going to Costco 27miles away in town and we thought we get there 30min early :#
    The line was already formed .... snakes around 3 times over... not a single cart left in sight.

    The store should ration things so more folks get something until it runs out.

    Maybe the Hurricane puts the volcano out? Hang in there, we in Florida are pretty use to dealing with Hurricanes. Button-up!

    Here is the 5 pm track map, one hour ago. You can see Maui is just east of the cone of uncertainty skimming Lanai and Kaho'olawe and slicing Molokai. Oahu and Kauai are still inside the cone but hopefully Lane will continue it's more westerly track and they will be out of the cone at it's closest points.

    Just talked to my wife and kids on O'ahu, they are well prepared and told me not to worry (yeah, right). My concern is storm surge and how slow Lane is traveling. We're on the South Shore near a lagoon and golf course, fairly flat. She said the locals are taking it serious while the tourists are partying.

    I'm supposed to fly back Friday afternoon and I'm already seeing FedEx delay flights inbound to HNL starting Thursday. My flight will probably be cancelled. :/
