A hurricane warning has been issued for Oahu as Lane continues to track toward the islands as a massive Category 4 storm.
The Big Island and Maui County also remain under a hurricane warning, while Kauai County is under a hurricane watch.
Lane was centered about 260 miles south of Kailua-Kona — or 385 miles south-southeast of Honolulu — and has slowed to just 8 mph.
Hurricane Lane passed just south of the Big Island on Wednesday morning and is now marching northwest, bringing it "dangerously close" to the island chain as a hurricane Thursday through Saturday.
Heavy rains from Hurricane Lane started to impact the Big Island and Maui on Wednesday, triggering flooding in some spots, and forecasters warn the cyclone's "very close" pass on Thursday and Friday is slated to bring strong winds, torrential showers and monster surf to the entire island chain.

(I don’t think ‘Lane’ was a good choice of name; implies something like ‘Tornado Alley’ and sets up a kind of dissonance in the mind...)
Hope everyone will be alright.

There seem to be only two hardy souls out there now...seems to be getting more cloudy and dark.
