Hurricane Lane (was Cat. 4, now downgraded to Cat 3) headed our way, actually just a few hours away. Many stores in Honolulu are/were out of water. Gas lines were long yesterday, but not bad today as many stayed home as businesses closed today and tomorrow. People getting edgy as expected, but only thing you can do is ride it out. Pretty much expect flooding to be the major problem, Big Island and Maui getting hit first.

Lights just went off and on, and in about an hour and a half the State (City & County actually) is supposed to set off the warning sirens as it approaches. That ought to get people real nervous.
My employer closed the Honolulu Office (corporate HQ) at 1800 Eastern yesterday, took the servers offline and moved them to safer ground, and gave everyone paid time off until the State of Emergency is lifted.
The last prediction I saw was a direct hit on Oahu.
To our Hawaiian members I'd say sacrifice a virgin by throwing her into the volcano, but that seems like a waste of perfectly good virgin.
Stay safe.

I thought of a way to make nachos when the power goes out. Gonna try it at the park with the kids.
Skillet on the butane camp burner, the one with out a big handle, just the two little loop handles. Foil. Maybe a brush of oil. Heap chips. Lid it and heat the chips.
Open, add cheese. Engage propane torch to melt the cheese like a broiler (I already cook like this - no stove at the moment. It works for grilled open-face cheese).
