2018 Hurricane Season
This map shows...

...closures of roads maintained by State or County.

It also shows how Eden Roc, Fern Acres, and Kopua can be cut off by the failure of a single road. Hope nobody needs emergency response...

My 2 cents - This map shows the route through Orchidland via Pohaku and 40th as being open. Don't believe it.

It showed it as closed last night, but always - the map is not the territory.

In a way, Puna got a break from this whole event in the fact that we didn't get the wind. (Thanks wind shear & Mauna mana)

I can't even imagine what this flooding damage plus wind damage would be like.

Still raining hard here in the acres at 3:30 pm this Saturday and even a thunderstorm this morning. I expect flash flooding again soon if it keeps up.

Ridiculous amount of rain.

The end of Hurrcane Lane, a wrap up and summery:

Great satellite photo of Lane quickly falling apart:

Hurricane Lane’s rapid deterioration at the end, much to the relief of people on Maui & Oahu:
According to forecasters, we have a primary weather factor to thank for this: wind shear.
Not only did the shear rapidly rip the storm apart, it is also responsible for guiding it on the westward hook, away from Oahu and Maui County.

Thanks for the explanations, everyone, I missed the time when 95C was being shown although did see some rotation in a thunderstorm well east of the island the other day, that may have been 95C.

We also now have a couple of new threats, Invest 99E and 90E in the eastern Pacific that are more likely than not to turn into tropical cyclones. 99E looks the bigger threat right now (it's nearer and predicted to have a more westerly track) but both are worth watching.

Hurricane Lane has made Big Island #1 and #2 in H2O:

The Mountain View gage has measured 52.02 inches of rain for the period from 8 AM HST August 22 when the outer rain bands started impacting the Big Island through 8 AM HST August 26 after the trailing rain band passed west of South Point. An unverified private weather station also reported 58.80 inches during this same time span. We will attempt to validate this private weather station report. Both totals indicate that Hurricane Lane has broken the Hawaii tropical cyclone storm total rainfall record, pending verification of the data. The previous record was 52.00 inches, measured at Kanalohuluhulu Ranger Station, during Hurricane Hiki in 1950. The Hurricane Lane total would also make it the second highest storm total rainfall from a tropical cyclonein the United States since 1950. The highest total is 60.58 inches, measured at Nederland, Texas, during Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
