hurricane warning for big island, Oahu and Maui added to watch, warnings likely wednesday

[msongs]

meanwhile island residents are busy updating their hurricane kits. I was at Lowes and medium size gas operated electric generators were flying out the doors. Costco? masses of ppl there too.

Odds on serious weather are pretty darn high for all the islands starting tomorrow mid day

in good news the drought assessment statement issued in July should be a non issue by next week
as the storm will effect the dry sides of the islands the most

1. Hopefully you will get the benefits of the rain

with none of the damage from the winds or storm surges. Good luck and please let us know what's happening when possible.

2. Misses a direct hit . The NE side of the storm gets hit the hardest though. Hunker down!

Way too close for comfort and hopefully it will continue to veer westward.
