Hurricane Iselle AND Julio! Hang on Hawaii!

Hurricane Iselle made landfall today as a Category 2 around 400 miles from Honolulu and is continuing to make it's mark on the Hawaiian mainland. This is the first hurricane in 22 years to make a direct hit on our Pacific State.

Before these hurricanes even began affecting the Islands, a 4.5 magnitude earthquake shook the state. One thing after another for the Pacific Island Chain.

Hurricane Julio is currently heading on a Northwestward path at 17 mph. The eye of this currently Cat 2 hurricane looks like it will pass to the North of Hawaii, and will likely be a Cat 1 or a Tropical Storm by the time the outer wind bands affect the Islands. The latest wind speed data showed recorded sustained winds of 104 mph, making it a very strong category 2 hurricane.
