Hurricane Hector to Hit Hawaii- Cat 5 - 20" of Rain
2
August, 2018
A
major Pacific Ocean Hurricane has already formed and is presently
heading toward the Hawaiian Islands with winds in excess of 100 mph.
Impact
on the big Island of Hawaii is projected by computer models to begin
around August 7, with very severe conditions taking place on the 8th,
9th and 10th for the other islands in the small island chain.
The
storm is already a category 5 Hurricane with SUSTAINED winds greater
than 100 MPH. The storm is expected to continue strengthening
and to become much more severe in coming days.
Persons
in Hawaii are URGED to get Emergency food, water, any medicines they
may need, flashlights, numerous spare batteries, a portable AM/FM
radio to keep informed via news, and to begin earnestly preparing
their homes for the onslaught from this storm. DO
NOT WAIT. If
you fail to begin taking steps right now, the things you need will be
SOLD OUT by the time you try to get them.
Outdoor
furniture will have to be secured. Windows and doors of homes
will have to be boarded up. Sand Bags are advisable in areas
known to flood.
Residents
should expect severe winds, heavy rain, loss of electricity (perhaps
for weeks) severe flash flooding.
Forecast
projections are showing total rainfall accumulations of TWENTY INCHES
in three days.
It
is not known what effect that much water will have on the Kilauea
volcano and its active lava flows, but water hitting lava is not a
good thing; and with more than 20" expected to fall, scientists
are fearing what they call a Phreatic
Eruption (Steam
blast eruption).
Again,
residents are URGED to begin preparing right now. Don't wait
until the storm gets closer because those who wait will find
themselves unable to get even basic supplies.

Hector could hit Hawaii & The MODELS aren't working well
