Hawaii prepares for the arrival of Hurricane Hone as the storm intensifies in the Pacific Ocean
ai generated text
Tropical storm Hone has intensified into a Category 1 hurricane, with sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph) just above the 74 mph threshold for a hurricane. The storm is expected to reach its peak strength between Sunday and Monday. However, some sources indicate that Hone may remain just below hurricane strength. The hurricane is forecast to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and dangerous seas to Hawaii, which is still recovering from devastating fires. A state of emergency has been declared by Hawaii Gov. Josh Green due to the threats from Hone and the elevated fire danger in the state.
We're expecting to have bands of rain come through the day.
I notice the wind started to kick up already.
Times have changed, and we have to be ready for anything.
Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches will be possible over portions of the smaller islands, mainly windward.
Winds are expected to be strongest where they blow downslope from higher terrain, over headlands and through passes.
