Tropical Storm Flossie Heads Toward Hawaii

Luke 21:25,26 “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Hawaii is under tropical storm watches and warnings as Tropical Storm Flossie travels directly toward the islands.

Flossie’s western track is placing this sixth named storm of the Pacific hurricane season on a path to hit the islands head-on. However, forecasters are predicting that cooler water will weaken the storm before it makes landfall on the “big island” of Hawaii.

History is backing forecasts of the storm’s weakening as only four storms since 1957 have been at hurricane strength by the time it reached 65 nautical miles of the islands.

Even if the storm is not tropical storm status, the system will bring an increase in heavy rain, higher storm swells and dangerous riptides.
