Flossie Update 3

Nothing very dramatic seems to have happened here in Honolulu.  It rained off and on all day on Monday.  There were not any strong winds that I noticed.  Monday night there was some lightning briefly.  We heard about lightning and power outages along with rain on Maui. 

Flossie Update 2

Flossie is predicted to keep dropping in wind-speed as it comes over the islands in the next 24 hours, down to 40 mph by tomorrow night.  We went by a gas station earlier to top off the tank for the week and there were more cars than normal for a Sunday night. 

Flossie Update

The latest reports are that the storms winds will die down to 50 mph and the storm is heading to pass south of us (Oahu).  We are still making some preparations and are predicted to possibly get quite a bit of rainfall. 

Tropical Storm Flossie

We have a named tropical storm, Flossie, headed our way!  Currently it has 70 mph winds, close to hurricane strength, although it is predicted to drop in strength before getting here and is still over a thousand miles away.
