Catastrophe Event Details

Hurricane watches are in effect in parts of Hawaii as Hurricane Lane now poses an increasing, but still uncertain, danger to parts of the Hawaiian Islands late this week with high winds, flooding rain, battering surf and coastal flooding possible.

The center of Lane is about 450 miles south-southeast of the Big Island's Kona coast or about 600 miles southeast of Honolulu, Hawaii, moving generally west. Lane remains a strong Category 4 hurricane with 155 mph winds.

  • Hurricane watches have been issued for Maui and Hawaii Counties.
  • Lane is bordering on Category 5 intensity hundreds of miles southeast of Hawaii.
  • Lane will curl northwestward later this week toward Hawaii, eventually weakening.
  • A direct strike on parts of the Hawaiian Islands is possible late this week.
  • The island chain will see high surf, rip currents, winds and heavy rain, regardless of the exact track.
  • Whether the core of Lane's strongest winds affects parts of the islands remains uncertain.
