Hanna was lashing the Texas Gulf Coast with high winds and drenching rains that destroyed boats, flooded streets and knocked out power.Duke Stevens, who lives in Hana on Maui’s eastern tip, said by early afternoon there was no longer any wind, and the light rain that fell persistently through the night had subsided.Antonia Hall of Kihei in western Maui said the storm avoided her area, although she and others were prepared for the worst.
She brought her porch furniture inside, bought nonperishable food and filled her bathtub for an emergency water supply. Hall also made an early recording of her weekly podcast and gave it to a friend in case she was unable to broadcast from home.Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell urged residents to take the threat seriously, saying Oahu has repeatedly gotten lucky in recent years as hurricanes bearing down on the island have fizzled out or veered away.
About 300 people evacuated to the Hawaii Convention Center on the edge of Waikiki. On Maui, 22 people were at five shelters around the island. Hawaii has some of the lowest coronavirus infection rates in the nation, but numbers have been rising in recent weeks.
