Reuters: Hurricane Lane lashes Hawaii with torrential rains, flash floods
High winds and torrential rains from Hurricane Lane pounded Hawaii on Thursday, touching off flash floods, landslides and heavy surf as it spun toward the islands, prompting schools and offices to close as residents hunkered down to ride out the storm.
Conditions have deteriorated quickly in Hawaii. While the eye is not passing over the Big Island conditions are still being described as life-threatening.
I want everyone to be prepared to shelter in place. 14 days food/water/supplies. If you must go to a shelter – take supplies with you. #HurricaneLane #lane #higov #hinews
