The model runs from almost every model are a complete disaster for Hawaii. Barring a miracle Lane is gonna landfall as a cat 4 or 5. 

EDIT: Recon has 135 knots in the NW eyewall. EDIT 2: Pressure is around 939 mb

Huh? Doesn't look good, but in no way is it forecast to hit as a cat 4 or 5.

Warm water and not nearly enough shear. There's nothing to weaken him until he's over a volcano. 

 

Anyway, he looks like a mean motherfucker

[FORTY NINE TO ZERO 2630]

I’m really surprised that Hawaii possibly being hit by a monster cat 5 has not become a major news story...

Recon has Lane at a at 5 with 150 knot winds. Shit shit shit

Hawaiian life in the fast Lane.

 

HURRICANE CENTRAL Rare Hurricane Warning Issued for the Hawaii's Big Island as Powerful Hurricane Lane Threat Increases; Watch Issued for Oahu, Maui

 

[InkaUtexas 25426]

Hang 150 dudes. Waves are going to be crazy. You know there will be some dudes heading out to catch the big one. 

Serious, sucks for them right after the volcano. Almost like someone pissed off some gods. 

 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Officially a Cat 5 now.

[Zonahorn 8079]

Good news this morning is he is weakening, bad news it won't be enough to drop him below major strength.

[GopherRock 1765]

The best solution is for Lane to get driven into the Big Island on the east side of South Point and have Mauna Loa tear it apart.

Will be pretty impressive to see how a volcano erupting continuously for 30+ years reacts to a hurricane.

Syfy is salivating at the thought volcano hurricane flick. Maybe some hammerheads with chainsaws for heads for the scifi effect

Volcanocane!!  Hurricano!!!  

[Dewey 3280]

What do they do for safety? I'm just looking at it from where I sit, in Galveston, we.can load up our truck and make it inland enough for safety, might take 8 hours, but we have that option. Hawaii gots no where to go. They also dont get hit at the rate we do, which is a blessing for them. But still, what do they do?

Pardon my ignorance

good question. my GF's 3 kids are over there. they have been there for the summer and are flying back monday. they have loaded up on shit at costco and are staying in a house on a hill on the windward side of Oahu, so I am thing they will be alright from the flooding. i guess the main danger is their house being pounded by the winds?

[Dewey 3280]

Yeah, higher ground, less flooding, but more wind. Trading one for the other.

[phdhorn 6224]

On the bright side, maybe the hurricane will more quickly harden the lava that's coming from the volcano and provide more primo beachfront!

Hawaii - other than wind, fire, and water killers, it's a great place to live!

Hawaii-based Ships to Sortie Ahead of Hurricane Lane

PEARL HARBOR, HAWAII – Rear Adm. Brian Fort, commander, Naval Surface Group Middle Pacific, announced that U.S. Navy ships and submarines based in Hawaii not currently undergoing maintenance availabilities have begun to sortie as Hurricane Lane travels toward the Hawaiian Islands.

Ships that sortie will be positioned to help respond after the storm, if needed.

“Based on the current track of the storm, we made the decision to begin to sortie the Pearl Harbor based ships,” Fort said. “This allows the ships enough time to transit safely out of the path of the storm.”

Units will remain at sea until the threat from the storm subsides and Hawaii-based Navy aircraft will be secured in hangars or flown to other airfields to avoid the effects of the hurricane.

The Navy orders a sortie during potentially extreme weather conditions to reduce the risk of significant damage to ships and piers during high winds and seas. Some ships will not get underway, due to various maintenance availabilities, and are taking extra precautions to avoid potential damage. Commanding officers have a number of options when staying in port, depending on the severity of the weather. Some of these options include adding additional mooring and storm lines, dropping the anchor, and disconnecting shore power cables.

There are lines at the pump in Hawaii. Where exactly in the fuck do they think they are driving with a full tank of gas?

If the hurricane causes major damage it's possible there won't be gas available for a few days if not weeks.  Two refineries on Oahu make most of the gas.  Some gas is shipped in already refined but a small percentage.

Not getting enough love.

Euro just caved to the GFS and has Lane making landfall. Will post the full run when its up.

[Dewey 3280]

Oof

[Zonahorn 8079]

Gah, never mind, he gets close but then the Euro has him get decoupled and scoot west before he makes landfall. Can't find a non Imgur link to post of the run either.

[Telegraph_it 3353]

Is it bad when the hurricane decides to spawn a tropical depression? Because that seems like it happened. 

[Zonahorn 8079]

Lane is finally dead, doesn't even look like a tropical depression anymore.

[NorthLoop 14071]

Looks like you got all excited for nothing. PHD you are not. 

[Bert Orange 1115]

Lane = Keyser Soze 

[boknowstecmo 216]

Lane is breaking rainfall records and causing mass flooding and landslides, but yeah, not a big deal.

Things look to be firing up in 10 days or so, hoping for the best. Bring rain, but not too much.
