Great link Terracore, mahalo for it. This Hilda hurricane formed in the same area of the pacific as Iniki. Its first reports came from the 12.8 longitude, well south of us at 19. Both of the hurricanes strengthened similarly up to this point. If Hilda survives the strong shear around the hawaiian islands a bit longer than expected we could have a higher chance of being on the northern quadrant of a very big storm.
Terracore If you get a chance take a glance through the archives on hurricane Iniki's data and projections from 20 some years ago. Most hurricanes that inter our Hawaiian waters are a bit further north around the 15 longitude when concern takes place. Which does two damaging things to these storms usually? Besides The hurricanes running over cooler waters longer before it arives. It also approaches at a slightly different angle this way. Pitting it against our very strong china wind shears, That the top of maunakea experience frequently. Very hard to predict hurricanes impacts to these islands With Our ocean water being warmer than usual at the moment. Also the negative climate and environment changes over the past few dacades, with the drastic observatories reshaping of maunakeas summit could play a different role than usual( joking of course Tom).#128514;#128548;#128519;
