Hurricanes set to slam into islands

Hurricanes set to slam into islands

Updated 06 Aug 2014 @ 09:36
Heavy rain, strong winds and rough seas will be some of the effects caused by Hurricane Iselle, which is set to hit Hawaii tomorrow night.

Scattered power outages are expected across the island, including in Honolulu.  

Multiple roads could also be washed out on the Big Island; Oahu; Lanai; and Kauai.

Inexperienced swimmers, boarders and boaters should exercise extreme caution in the waters from today onwards as waves will build in strength and number.

The following advice has been issued to residents and travellers alike:

1. Go to the bank and withdraw extra cash.

2. Fill your car's petrol tank.

3. Keep mobile phones and other electronics charged.

4. Get prescription medications refilled and make provisions for any medicines that must be chilled or that require special handling. Power could be out for more than a week if a Hurricane Julio also strikes.
