The big Island of Hawaii has not been hit with any tropical system since 1993 and now 20 years later a tropical storm is on the move, and fears are growing that could become a hurricane by the time it’s the island state..
The time of arrival for flossy on the big island appears to be sometime Tuesday early..
While Flossie is not an overly powerful system at this point fears are growing that the warm Pacific waters may cause the storm to intensify..
One Forecaster told me, ‘the ingredients are there and we need to watch this because the Island of Hawaii may not be ready being that their guard has been down now for 20 years’
