Millions of Hawaii residents are on alert as Hurricane Nolo, a Category 2 storm with winds up to 105 mph, approaches the state. Located 200 miles south of the Big Island, Nolo is expected to strengthen but remain south of the islands. Despite the cancellation of tropical alerts, gusty winds, heavy rain, and large waves are anticipated. Meanwhile, Hurricane Polo and Hurricane Odalys are also active in the Pacific, with Polo threatening Baja California Sur. On the Big Island, officials are concerned about potential “volcanic hail” from Kilauea, which could disrupt water supplies and roads. Emergency teams are monitoring the situation closely.
