@islandboy, stay safe!

@Islandboy  Hope it turns and does not cause too many problems.  Be safe and let us know you and any other Hawaii FOH folks are OK!

To those looking at the NOAA image, don't be fooled.  This could be nasty if it wobbles just the least bit.

Thanks! It’s now Cat 5, but projected to start weakening soon. Here’s the latest projected path. I sure as hell hope this doesn’t change for the worse, because....I’m currently in Canada and my wife is back home to deal with this mess!. This does not bode well for me. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed here for your wife and everyone there!  Please keep us posted on the situation.  

Prayers sent!

I was in Puerto Rico when it got hit by Hurricaine Maria last last winter, so saw first hand the absolute carnage they can cause. I really hope they all miss. 

Fingers crossed all will be well.

Where in Canada? I should be in Vancouver tomorrow for a smoke with @MrGinger . If you’re nearby, come join us!

This could be the big one everyone has said was coming some day, and I'm laid up at home post-vasectomy. Here I thought I would get a nice long weekend laying on the lanai with an icepack smoking cigars...

Oof. I’ve got another buddy in Hilo. Fingers crossed for a favorable turn...

Hope your family is safe @Islandboy sending prayers honey

My prayers and thoughts for all our Hawaiian members, including @Islandboy and @Duxnutz.

Thinking of you and your family Brad.

Thoughts are with everyone in harms way, stay safe, and wishing you well

[Duxnutz]

Thanks @JohnS. Definitely has the potential to be a bit of an ‘event’. My girlfriend and I stopped at target yesterday and couldn’t believe how quickly the food section had been cleared out. Ditto lines at the petrol station. 

I actually flew out to Japan this afternoon so frantically tried to (as best one can a Hawaiian fibro house) wrap up the house this morning and secure stuff outside. I’m actually scheduled to land at 10:20 am Friday with the storm approaching Oahu by 6pm so should be an interesting day. It’s funny how even movie theatres are closed but yet the airplanes are still flying.

Might just be an occasion to crack a nice bottle of bourbon and hunker down. 

Thought with you @Islandboy. Fingers crossed the weakening continues, just worried about the water.

Did not mean to forget you in my post @Duxnutz.  Forgot you lived there now.

Hope it is a non event or at least a bad rain with no flooding.
