The storm poses significant risks to residents and visitors across the Hawaiian Islands. Damaging winds could lead to power outages and structural damage, while heavy rainfall increases the likelihood of flash flooding and landslides. Coastal areas, particularly those with south-facing shores, are at risk of storm surges up to 3 feet and dangerous rip currents. The potential for up to 20 inches of rain in localized areas could exacerbate flooding and disrupt transportation and emergency services. Residents are urged to prepare for prolonged hazardous conditions, as impacts may last into Sunday. (Source: Hawai‘i Emergency Management Agency, August 13, 1:45 p.m. HST)
