The National Weather Service predicted winds to hit about 40 mph Thursday afternoon in Hawaii. In some areas, the wind will reach 70 mph, with gusts up to 85 mph. The winds may cause damage to lightweight buildings and trees. The wind may also cause power outages, and the NWS warned Hawaii residents to watch out for flying debris.
Intense waves and storm surges also will batter the islands. Surf will range from 15 to 25 feet Thursday and together with surges of up to three feet may cause costal flooding, according to the NWS. Honolulu planned to deploy buses to evacuate those in flood zones, including homeless Hawaii residents, Mayor Kirk Caldwell said Wednesday.
The state may also face flooding from the rain. A flash flood warning was in effect Wednesday night and forecasters expected as much as 12 inches of rain in some areas. The intense precipitation "could lead to life-threatening flash floods," the NWS warns.
Wednesday afternoon, a group of Honolulu officials — including Fire Chief Manuel Neves, in the video below — outlined their response to the potential dangers posed by the storm.
The threat from damage and debris prompted Honolulu to close all parks beginning Thursday, Mayor Kirk Caldwell said Wednesday. Reductions in public transit service also were scheduled to coincide with the more intense parts of the storm.
Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell announced Wednesday night that 10 shelters would open on Oahu by Thursday evening. Caldwell said the shelters should be a "last resort choice" and that Hawaii residents who can stay at home should.
