Tropical Storm Ana Threatening Hawaii

Luke 21:25,26 NLT “And there will be strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. People will be terrified at what they see coming upon the earth, for the powers in the heavens will be shaken.”

Hawaii could be facing another hurricane.

Tropical Storm Ana is moving toward Hawaii after increasing in strength from a tropical depression to tropical storm Monday.  Forecasters say the storm will likely reach Category 1 hurricane status before it makes landfall on the Big Island Saturday morning.

“Traditionally, tropical systems struggle to maintain strength as they approach Hawaii from the southeast,” said AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Evan Duffey. “However, abnormally warm water south of Hawaii could support an organized tropical system surviving into Hawaii.”

Even if the storm falls back to tropical storm status, it will still bring flooding, high surf, strong winds and heavy rain to the entire state.

The storm will be the second time this year Hawaii is hit with a major tropical storm.  Hurricane Iselle struck the islands in August, marking the first time since record keeping began in 1950 that a storm of hurricane intensity struck the islands.
