Forecasters said the first hurricane this season in the Central Pacific would pass close to Oahu, and potentially even make a direct hit on the island, which is home to state’s biggest city of Honolulu.
Ballard said the storm was tracking west-northwest over the island chain and any variation of the path closer could bring much worse weather. A direct hit on Oahu still remained a possibility, he said.
Oahu, Kauai and Maui were all under a hurricane warning, though a hurricane watch was canceled for the Big Island. Officials on Oahu and Maui sounded emergency sirens as rain fell and blustery winds swayed trees. They urged people living there to shelter in place or, as last resort, to take refuge at shelters.. On Maui, 22 people were at five shelters around the island.
