Mahalo, ironyak & terracore, leilanidude. This article is quite interesting, scientifically speaking: (*Snipped - More at link; BBM)

In what’s being hailed a meteorological first, two back-to-back hurricanes are marching toward Hawaii, both of them threatening torrential rains and rip-roaring winds this week. The closer of the two, hurricane Madeline, could break a second meteorological record as the first hurricane to strike the Big Island since bookkeeping began in 1949.
Rumbling west at approximately 9 mph, Madeline is currently packing Category 3 windspeeds of 120 mph. Its latest track has the storm passing south of the Big Island on Thursday, although as meteorologists Bob Henson and Jeff Masters point out over at Weather Underground, it’s too early to rule out the possibility of landfall on the island of Hawai’i. In any case, the storm is expected to bring heavy rains and 40 to 50 mph wind gusts to the island later this week. A hurricane watch is in effect for Hawaii County.
Be safe all, there is a list of shelters available, and don't have the link handy; will post later, if someone else doesn't. These kinds of articles and information are all worthy of consideration, and hopefully not construed as "fear mongering". We all need to be maka'ala.
