"So we don't have to worry about the eye making it anywhere near here, if I understand correctly."
I think it's very unlikely the eye will go over the east of the island, but small eastward movements are possible as it moves northward. In fact, looking at the track of Iniki, that actually started to move slightly eastwards when it turned north towards Kauai. It'll be interesting to see what happens when Lane moves into the wind-shadow caused by Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea.
