Los Angeles, CA (AHN) - Hurricane Felicia has lost a lot of its power as it heads for a collision with the Hawaiian islands. On Friday, Felicia was downgraded to a Category 3 storm after losing some of its sustained wind speed. Nonetheless, the hurricane is headed for a Tuesday morning landfall with the Big Island of Hawaii.

In its latest update, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) reports Felicia has sustained wind speeds of 115 miles per hour (185 km/hr), down from 140 mph (220 km/hr) on Thursday.

Felicia is moving west at about 10 mph and the eye of the storm is an estimated 1,365 miles east of Hilo, Hawaii. Over the weekend, the NHC will begin issuing Hurricane Watches and Warnings when appropriate.

Wow. Doubt this happens much, and I bet in most cases the storm is weakening like this one.

Never hear about a strong hurricane hitting Hawaii.

Iniki hit Kauai in 1992. From what I hear from residents, it really changed the place a lot.

This thing is over 1300 miles away from the Big Island. It will probably change direction, like always.
