It appears that the first storm will make landfall tomorrow.
I have been watching Jim Cantore report from Hilo.
Emergency workers were going out to warn homeless people to get to higher ground or shelters.

The eye of Iselle is expected to hit the Big Island today in a few hours.
It was drizzling on a Oahu about 30 minutes ago.

Thanks everyone! The weather is starting to pick up here on the Leeward side of Oahu. School is closed and my husband (Army) does not have to go in tomorrow, only mission essential personnel. We are prepared and hoping for the best.
sbartist, stay safe!

I live in the part of Florida that was the nexus of 3 hurricanes (cat 3s) in two months. I can't imagine two back to back like y'all are getting ready to have. I wish you all luck!

My friend and her husband are also Army in Oahu. My friend does photography, and she was asked how much she would charge to do a photo shoot during the storm.

One of our Refupeas posted that she was on the way to Maui, I believe today. I certainly hope everyone stays safe and that the storm blows over quickly.

Closures on Oahu: Schools The City Bus Service (lots of people use the bus, they are almost always crowded with standing room only, if you are lucky) Ala Moana Parks
and lots of other stuff - really long list.

Stay safe! My parents and sister are still in Kauai! She said they're not expected to get hit as hard as the big island though.

DB and family are headed to Maui next week. Wishing you the best tonight...

Any more updates? I can't get through on the phones from NZ. :-(
I'm pretty worried about my parents - I'm sure they will be safe physically, but their farm got some damage (flooding weakening foundations of a bridge and building) in a storm a few weeks ago, and haven't been able to fix it yet, so this could be really bad.

What island are they on? Here is a link to the Hawaii News Now FB page for updates: www.facebook.com/HawaiiNewsNow?fref=nfI am on O'ahu and have been through two hurricanes in all my years (born and raised here). Hoping that these hurricanes simmer down as so many have in the past! Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. Keep praying!
