Maui County braces for Hurricane Lane
Quote:
KAHULUI — Maui County residents, tourists and businesses are preparing for Hurricane Lane and the possibility of stores running out of supplies due to the anticipated closure of all ports statewide when the storm hits.

The Category 5 storm is forecast to come dangerously close to Hawaii, leading many residents to buy food, water and gasoline Tuesday, while crowds of visitors appeared at Kahului Airport trying to find an early flight home. ...


As many times as I’ve been to Hawaii, I’ve never seen what I’d consider bad weather. Maybe some bad beach weather, but it always seemed hurricanes went the other way.

News reports show empty store shelves and people stocking up on bottled water. why don't they just stockpile tap water in containers. Bottled water is basically a waste of money, although useful in some situations.

Hope all goes well for them. you can't go very far inland on an island.
