when a tropical storm or hurricane gets closer on it's approach, i highly recommend this graphic linked above to get a visual idea of basically what to expect in terms of wind. especially if you look at that wind history graphic next to the usual tracking graphic (http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc/tc_graphics...d=CP022014).
looking at both together today, to my eye it reassuringly looks like the far limit of tropical storm winds will most probably safely skirt on by to the west of South Point. looks like it would take an extremely unexpected, dramatic and highly unlikely shift at this late stage to bring T.S. winds into Puna.
