For all my friends on the Hawaiian islands .

As I understand it you have two major storms headed your sway and the second one, Julio has the potential to be a Catagory IV. My prayers for your safety ,well being, property and gardens.

Paradise can get nasty from time to time.

Hawaii should still hold its record. Iselle should be weakened to a Tropical Storm by the time it makes landfall. Still powerful winds but not catastrophic. Watch out for flash floods and the wind tunnel effect as Iselle is projected to thread the needle between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea.

So many species,

so little time.

8:45 HST some rain and wind, but the main part of the storm hasn't hit Hilo yet. Winds and rains have been worse south of town with power outages and downed trees. The center of the storm landfall will be around 11pm, so things could get hairy.

As most everyone knows by now, the storm made a southerly turn just before making landfall and passed over that SE part of Puna that juts out (but affecting most of the Puna district), then mostly following the Ka`u coastline, weakening. Long Mauna Loa sheltered the Kona-Kohala areas from getting winds and heavy rain. Interesting to note that all forecasters had the storm passing directly over the Big Island. This did not happen and instead it did as all other hurricanes and tropical storms have done in the past on approaching the Big Island, it turned, this time heading south then southwest along the south side of the island. Seems history has something to tell us here!

Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

 

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).  

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.  

Nice sunsets!
