Hurricane Lowell Update | 5 p.m. | Sept. 6

Hurricane Lowell remains on a north to north-northeast track and is forecast to pass west of the Hawaiian Islands Monday night. A Hurricane Watch is now in effect for Kauaʻi County, with a Hurricane Warning already in place for the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

For Oʻahu, heavy rain, flash flooding, and dangerous ocean conditions remain the primary concerns as Lowell passes west of the state.

For Oʻahu:
• Heavy rain and potential flash flooding into early next week
• Large, life-threatening swells bringing dangerous surf and rip currents
• Avoid entering the ocean when conditions are hazardous

Take time to prepare:
• Clear drains and secure loose outdoor items
• Review your family’s emergency plan
• Check on family, friends, and neighbors
• Sign up for emergency alerts: hnlalert.gov

Stay safe and continue to monitor official updates.

JUST A CITY BOY

Before legendary rock band Journey hits the stage at the Blaisdell Arena, the iconic group gathered to receive a commemorative certificate to honor their longstanding connection to Hawaiʻi and their adoring fans in the islands.

Since their first-ever Hawaiʻi concert in 1974, Journey has now performed live in the Aloha State more than 30 times. Their upcoming show Sept.5 will mark their 27th concert at the Blaisdell.

On behalf of the City and County of Honolulu, it is an honor and privlege to welcome Journey back to Oʻahu.

STORM UPDATE

Hurricane Lowell continues to track west as it moves closer to Kauaʻi County and is expected to retain categrory 2 strength as it gets closest to the Garden Isle Monday night.

As of 5 a.m., Lowell was about 600 miles south of Līhuʻe. Although it is forecast to turn northwest tonight and north on Saturday night, it is possible that the track could shift east, but that is less likely.

Lowell is expected to remain a major hurricane through at least Sunday night and dangerous surf is forecast to impact south-facing shores.

Flash flooding has limited potential through Saturday but the threat increases for all islands through Monday.

DANGEROUS SURF EXPECTED

Hurricane Lowell is likely to bring powerful surf and dangerous ocean conditions. Know before you go.

• Don’t test your limits. Large surf can be dangerous, even for experienced ocean users.
• Never turn your back on the ocean. Powerful waves can arrive unexpectedly.
• Follow all warnings and instructions from Honolulu Ocean Safety lifeguards.
• Keep your distance from dangerous shorebreak, rocks, and rough surf.
• Keep children and inexperienced ocean users out of hazardous conditions.

When in doubt, stay out. Enjoy the ocean safely from shore.

Hurricane Lowell remains a major hurricane and is forecast to turn north this weekend, moving near the western Hawaiian Islands early next week.

• Monitor official forecasts and guidance
• Sign up for HNL Alert: hnlalert.gov

Stay informed. Be ready to act.

PACK SMART

While some disaster kit supplies may seem obvious, others may surprise you.

Four items that are easy to overlook include an extra pair of shoes and socks, work gloves, a can opener, and a radio.

Many people may assume if they’re wearing shoes and socks, there’s no need to pack extra. But if the ones you’re wearing get damaged or wet, you’ll be glad to have spares.

Work gloves don’t often come to mind, but if you find yourself clearing debris or if you suffer a cut on your hand, the extra layer of protection is a necessity.

Packing canned goods is great forward thinking, but without a can opener, you could go hungry. Also remember to avoid openers with gears and cranks; those are susceptible to rusting and breaking.

Radios may seem antiquated, but if cell phone and internet service go down, a radio may be your only connection to the outside world and emergency information.

Many emergency hand-crank radios can also double as a source for power. An internal rechargeable battery stores energy generated by cranking that can be transferred to your phone through a USB port.

Flash flooding potential is expected to increase for all islands Sunday and Monday.

Oʻahu’s south-facing shores are forecast to receive advisory/warning level surf.

A LOOK BACK AT LALA

While O’ahu continues to recover from the impacts of Tropical Storm Lala, the City and County of Honolulu remains steadfast in their mission to restore services across our island.

From toppled trees, to blown roofs, to mass power outages, Lala proved that even storms that don’t make direct landfall can cause severe damage.

With three months left in an above-normal hurricane season, our message to residents is to always be prepared.

STAY READY

As more storms continue to develop in the Pacific, including Hurricane Lowell, now is the time to begin stocking your emergency supply kit.

Essentials include water (one gallon per day, per person), money (preferably small bills), a phone and portable charger, medications and eyeglasses, and a flashlight with extra batteries.

Experts recommend having enough supplies to last 14 days.
