mountains... but if you are dealing with a storm with Lanes` power...
Take a look at the size of Hurricane Lane in this satellite photo. Big Island is outlined on the left, so imagine how much of the island consists of the upper reaches of Mauna Loa & Mauna Kea. A small percentage. Compare that to the enormity of Lane, spinning at 160 mph.
It would be like putting up two lawn ornaments in your yard expecting them to stop gusty trade winds from reaching your house.
