Meteorologists say storm's path could shift slightly and hit islands of Oahu and Kauai
A police officer with the Honolulu Police Department inspects the sand and debris washed onto a closed portion of Kamehameha Highway, Sunday, July 26, 2020, in Kaaawa, Hawaii. High surf caused by Hurricane Douglas washed the debris onto the highway.Hurricane Douglas came within “razor thin” distance of the Hawaiian Islands but spared the state the worst of the strong winds, storm surge and flooding officials had warned about.
Heavy rain and wind gusts battered Maui during the morning, downing a small tree on the Hana Highway. “We were really playing with a really fine line, a razor thin line between what we’ve experienced today compared to what we could have experienced,” he said.Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell warned Oahu wasn’t “out of the woods yet” and strong winds, heavy rains and flooding could still hit.
“Maui has skirted so many hurricanes,” she said. “This is just kind of something we go through here.”She brought her porch furniture inside, bought non-perishable food and filled her bathtub for an emergency water supply. Hall also made an early recording of her weekly podcast and gave it to a friend in case she was unable to broadcast from home.
