Thanks for the update.  I guess we'll have to call it hurricane alley this year.

Mahalo for the heads up. Don't return your generators or toilet paper just yet

I look at this satellite map to see what is going on in our vicinity

And here you can see storms highlighted:

From the summary near the top of the page, looks like Gil is losing power. Was up to 100 mph and now down to 60-70 mph over recent days.
