Bonef1de Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Jrock you better run for cover A tropical storm warning is expected to be issued for Oahu and Kauai at 11 a.m. tomorrow, meaning it is bearing winds of 39 mph to 73 mph, said Oahu Civil Defense Agency Administrator Joe Reed. He warned residents of possible flooding, along with high winds accelerated by the island's mountain ridges and valleys. Coastal areas will be subject to pretty strong high surf and surge as the storm moves up the chain, he said. "Anyone living or driving in those areas, especially at night: Don't do it during the passage of the storm. "There may be a tendency for some people to think, 'This is only a tropical storm,'" Reed added. "That could be dangerous." A tropical storm, even a fairly moderate or weak one, can result in hazardous conditions, he said. "It's still going to be a significant event if it continues to follow its current track," Weyman said, advising islanders to take preparedness actions listed in their phone books. Daniel was about 630 miles east of Hilo this morning and 830 miles east of Honolulu. It was traveling at 18 mph, with 75-mph winds gusting to 90 mph. "It's a very active system at the present time," Weyman said. The winds will begin decreasing but they will still be strong, and residents can expect a lot of rain, he said. Weyman said three things were happening to weaken the hurricane: colder, more stable air moving in from the north, warmer ocean temperatures (78 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit), and a sheer at the upper levels. The bottom of the storm is moving westerly while winds are pushing to the northeast in the upper part, at more than 24,000 feet, he said, explaining the sheer. Weyman has been holding conference calls with state and county Civil Defense agencies, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Red Cross and other emergency agencies, which are continuing to follow the storm. He briefed military officials and county Civil Defense administrators this morning. Weyman said the storm potentially will affect the Big Island tomorrow night, Maui late tomorrow night or early Monday, Oahu Monday morning and maybe into the afternoon, then Kauai Monday afternoon into the evening. http://starbulletin.com/2000/07/29/news/story1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
