Hurricane Nolo threatens Hawaii with catastrophic flooding
The Big Island is under a hurricane watch, while flood and tropical storm watches are in effect for Maui, Lanai, Molokai and Kahoolawe.
Hawaii braces for catastrophic flooding as Hurricane Nolo approaches with top winds of 120 kilometers per hour. The Big Island is under a hurricane watch, while Maui, Lanai, Molokai, and Kahoolawe face flood and tropical storm watches. Governor Josh Green has opened shelters for residents seeking refuge. Nolo's path is expected to bring as much as 51 centimeters of rain to the Big Island, with isolated totals of up to 89 centimeters.
Even though Nolo may veer away, Hawaii, already battered by multiple natural disasters since March, could face life-threatening flooding and mudslides, particularly in steep terrain.
