"Acting Governor Sylvia Luke issued an emergency proclamation declaring a state of emergency across the entire state on Friday, which will stay until September 19. 'To ensure the safety and preparedness of our communities, the state and counties will stand ready to mobilize resources to clear debris, secure infrastructure, and respond quickly to any possible damage caused by the storm,' said Luke. 'We urge residents and visitors to monitor updates, follow official guidance and prepare accordingly.'"
"Hurricane Kiko is closing in on Hawaii, where residents are preparing for life-threatening rip currents and towering waves up to 15 feet. The storm is currently moving northwest at 14 mph, and the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said it should maintain that course over the next few days. On this track, Kiko is expected to pass north of the main Hawaiian Islands on Tuesday and Wednesday."
Hurricane Kiko is approaching Hawaii and is forecast to pass north of the main Hawaiian Islands on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the most likely track taking it near or just south of the Big Island before moving northwest across the central Pacific. Kiko is a Category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph and is expected to weaken to a tropical storm by late Monday. A statewide emergency proclamation is in effect until September 19, with officials mobilizing resources and urging residents to monitor updates and prepare. Swells will build, producing life-threatening surf, rip currents, and waves up to 15 feet. The NHC currently places less than a 10 percent chance of tropical-storm-force winds reaching the islands and no tropical storm watches have been issued.
