Hawaii Storm

Hawaii was spared from a direct hit by a major hurricane as Lane, once a monster tempest, rapidly weakened into a tropical storm, even as it unleashed severe flooding on the Big Island and threatened to drench Oahu and Maui next.

Hurricane Lane, a powerful Category 3 storm, lashed Hawaii on Thursday with high winds and torrential rain, causing flash floods, landslides and raging surf as residents hunkered down to ride out the storm.

Hurricane Lane was downgraded to a Category 3 storm as it lashed Hawaii on Thursday with high winds and torrential rains, touching off flash floods, landslides and raging surf as residents hunkered down to ride out the storm.

Hurricane Lane has grown to a category 5 storm as it approaches Hawaii with potential for torrential rain, flash flooding and landslides, forecasters said.

Hurricane Madeline is expected to pass near Hawaii midweek, US weather forecasters said on Monday, threatening dangerous flooding and disruptions to a planned visit by President Barack Obama and other dignitaries.

Forecasters are watching a tropical storm as it cuts an uncertain path toward Hawaii, potentially coinciding with a visit by President Barack Obama.

Tropical Storm Madeline picked up speed as it headed towards Hawaii on Sunday, while Hurricane Lester tore west from the Mexican mainland across the Pacific, US monitors reported.

Hurricane Ignacio moved menacingly closer to Hawaii on Sunday but the worst of the powerful storm should spare the American archipelago, according to latest forecasts.

Hurricane Ignacio was churning across the Pacific on Friday on a path that could take it past Hawaii in coming days, with a second, more powerful storm trailing in its wake, the National Hurricane Center said.

Tropical storm Kilo formed from a low-pressure system drifting across the central Pacific on Friday on a trajectory that could threaten the Hawaiian islands as it strengthens into a hurricane early next week, the National Weather Service reported.

Tropical Storm Ana, swirling in the central Pacific Ocean, was upgraded to hurricane status on Friday but forecasters said they now believe the storm will drift some 100 miles to the south and miss the Hawaiian Islands.

Tropical Storm Ana weakened unexpectedly as it churned across the central Pacific, but meteorologists said the storm was still forecast to gain strength and hit Hawaii in what could be its first hurricane in more than two decades.

Tourists in Oahu and other popular parts of Hawaii got back to their beach vacations and residents lined up to vote in primary elections Saturday, a day after Tropical Storm Iselle swept through the islands without causing a widespread disaster. But a large, rural swath of the Big Island has spent more than 24 hours without electricity and is strug...

Tropical Storm Iselle pummeled the Hawaiian Islands with high winds and heavy rain on Friday, forcing hundreds to seek shelter and knocking out power to 23,000 people as residents kept a wary eye on an even more powerful storm headed their way.

Iselle lost steam as it lashed Hawaii with strong winds and heavy rain early today, as a second, more powerful storm headed for the holiday paradise.
