Interesting (and possibly historic) times ahead for Hawaii. The last time a hurricane struck there was 22 years ago when Hurricane Iniki struck the island chain in September 1992.
What is it with all these "I" named storms?!
This will be interesting to watch, though. As of the 5 AM HST update, winds are now down to 80 mph, so we'll have to see if it does indeed remain a hurricane at landfall. Either way, Hawaii is going to be in for a rough couple of days.
