Category 4 Hurricane “Lane” is heading west at 19 km/h (12 mph) and is expected to turn toward Hawaii on August 22 and 23 and pass dangerously close to the main Hawaiian Islands. Current forecast track doesn’t call for a direct impact and Lane will be a significantly weaker hurricane by the time it draws closer to the islands. However, impacts from this dangerous hurricane will extend well away from its center, large and potentially damaging surf is expected along exposed shorelines as well as excessive rainfall across portions of the state from August 22, leading to flash flooding and mudslides.
