Dunkman Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Looking at the current satellite I think the big island disrupting the northern outflow is impacting the storm much more than the shear, at least so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: BUT ONLY if I were on my own. Experiencing significant wx with family is awful lol. It’s easy to say that from 6000 miles away. I know I’ve said it. Sandy was scary and this looks to top that.

CoastalWx Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Oahu and Maui seem to be the islands in the cross hairs. I know there are other small islands..but just thinking about the larger populations. The rainfall could be prolific if that passes close enough. Seems to me that rainfall is the biggest hazard right now and at the moment...wind and surge not as much. There are still some EPS members that imply otherwise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A day ago you were telling me that all I would get was some rain, now you’re jealous. Yeah Lane is weakening, but slowly, and at best I’m losing two days of my vacation to heavy rain and at worst I might be in a life threatening situation with the possibility of not being able to get out.

olafminesaw Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 The EPac has surpassed its average annual ACE of 132, with Lane up to 34. It may even approach Hector's total if it can keep itself together for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think you are fine. Even worst case scenario you are fine, that hotel is like a fort, well built. Only concern would be those mountain side roads washing out, but I’d have to assume they have heavy rain often and the roads can handle the rain.

I’m pretty much going under the assumption that the bottom floor is going to be completely washed out. We parked the car on the third deck, but honestly 20” of rain is going to cause massive runoff everywhere. It’s a rental obviously, so whatever happens, oh well. Most of the locals here live on the side of the mountains or down the valley along H1, they are in big trouble. The South facing shore hardly sees any rain, most of it falls inland over the mountains or on the North and East facing shores. The mountain just to my north is an extinct volcano and has little vegitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
