Looks like you'll get your wish.

Which I'm glad for.

False alarms are so much better than real ones.

If the forecasts are right, winds will not be much worse than 40 mph. Meanwhile, looking outside earlier, everything looked normal, even with some sunshine. Oops, now there are some slow moving gray cloud masses coming in from the northeast.

Looks like we have a little southern diversion - gmp

I week ago Hilda was forecast to miss us well to the north and east, and now it is far to the south. This was one they really messed up on.

Kona, on The Big Island
Hawaii - Land of Volcanoes

Little islands, big ocean, plenty of room.

Be prepared (for next time).

Just shows how difficult it is to predict the wind. Check out this link -- it takes awhile to load, but really cool view of the world's winds when it does. (If your computer is super slow, don't bother.) Scroll the globe around to the Pacific and you can see tiny Hilda and the larger Typhoon Soudelor over to the east:

That's pretty cool ! - gmp

Remnants of Hilda brought us on Friday afternoon lightning, very loud thunder and about 1.75" (4.5cm) of rain at our place in south Kona. No real wind here with the rain.

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!

I found that there is a giant Octopus about to eat Papua New Guinea!
