The same thing happened with Darby. There was a nasty wind/rain that came through about 12 hours before Darby approached. It was actually more wind and rain than we saw from Darby itself.
From the 8am interim:
DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 800 AM HST (1800 UTC), the center of Hurricane Madeline was
located near latitude 18.7 North, longitude 153.6 West. Madeline is
moving toward the west near 12 mph (19 km/h) and this general motion
is expected to continue for the next couple of days.
Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts. Steady weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and
Madeline is forecast to weaken to a tropical storm later today or
tonight.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 10 miles (20 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125
miles (205 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 990 mb (29.23 inches).
Haven't decided on the plywood yet. Leaning towards no.
