Hurricane Lane (Pacific)

I know we mainly talk about the Atlantic here but 1. the Atlantic is dead right now and 2. Lane in the Pacific seems like it could be a major problem for Hawaii soon, so I figured it merited a thread.

Hopefully this storm will weaken before it gets any closer to the islands, I know they need rain but not this much! Keeping my fingers crossed it weakens or misses completely!

I went ahead and put the thread at the top. Lets keep an eye on this. Looks like a direct hit for them. When was the last one that hit Hawaii?

They've had a lot make close passes over the years but the last direct landfall (given what small targets the islands are) was Iniki in 1992.

Hurricane warning is up.

Flash flooding is already becoming a problem on the Big Island:

Lane is now a tropical storm. However parts of the island of Hawaii have received over 50 inches of rain from this system.
