Hurricane Dora, as of now, is a Category 4 storm. It’s a major threat to anyone in it’s path. However, there’s luck for the Hawaiians as the hurricane moved about 23 miles west of the Islands at a sustained speed maximum for winds of 130 miles per hour. Just yesterday, at five pm, Hawaiian time, the Hurricane had shifted 565 miles south to southeast of Hilo.
The Hurricane had been located twelve hours before at about 12.4 Degrees North, to about 148.3 Degrees West, respectively in latitude and longitude coordinates. All while being about 675 miles southeast of Hilo.
These are all facts that are getting updated by the National Hurricane Center.
As the storm still stays south, many forecasters themselves said how the hurricane would be taking higher winds to the Big Island and the whole state of Hawaii.
Eastern Trade Winds are said to stay strong and gusty all through Monday to the midweek, as Hurricane Dora would shift way far south. The National Weather Service forecast office through Honolulu would issue a High Wind Warning for the entirety of the Hawaii Islands, while a High Wind Advisory in particular was sent to Hilo and Puna Districts throughout Wednesday.
Residents would be able to secure outdoor items while stopping outdoor activities that could use. Damaging winds themselves could definitely put a damage. on various trees and power lines. Travel is very hard for high profile vehicles. The storm is likely going to delivery a high surf warning with plenty of major waves that hit at about 10 to 15 feet upon east-facing shores from 6pm on Monday to 6 pm on Tuesday.
From the outside, there had been a couple of showers on Monday morning, while dry air comes in from the east with a limit to the rainfall chances via Wednesday, while there have been a very usual trade wind pattern with a better anticipation throughout the week and well-into the weekend, according to the National Weather Service. Hurricane-force winds have extended up to 25 miles from the middle and tropical-storm-force winds as they extend out to 90 miles, all while there had been slower weakening of the forecast, through the following 48 hours.
It’s important to inform the residents of Hawaii to be wary of Hurricane Dora. It’s ideal to make sure they’re aware because otherwise it could spell doom. And that’s not something anyone in an island community are ready for.
