hurricane and tropical storm warnings up for most Hawaiian Islands including Honolulu....

http://www.prh.noaa.gov/pr/hnl/

Hurricane warning for the island of Hawaii, tropical storm warnings for Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Oahu.

Tropical storm watch for Kauai.

here in Honolulu the biggest long term problem may be power outages so we are stocked with water and food. The freezer is full of water containers which will go into the fridge if the power goes out.

Costco was jammed yesterday but now that they are out of bottled water they are less busy than usual

Lovely tropical day today, though

I've been hearing about the preparations that are occurring on Maui and the chaos that is Costco. Someone reported that there was no more bottled water to be found (and toilet paper was going fast also Hopefully nobody on any of the islands need to actually rely on the bottled water.
