I hope Hawaii is prepared for this storm. Don't know how their infrastructure is.

Not the best.

We have a lot of old and beat up homes. Especially in the valleys.

Blow up of convection from the east of the eye. Signs pointing that it may be strengthening.

I don't think it's intensifying. Just holding it's own.

Hope your okay, but you're a bit north of the projected track.

[Alyono]

I do not like what I am seeing on the sat. Hopefully, recon does not find an intensifying storm

[Alyono]

you should watch Julio, King. That one may be more of a threat to you

Thank you for your kind wishes. I think I'll manage. The store I run is built in 1915 and is very close to the ocean.

Yeah I sure will. Unfortunately my hands are tied with Iselle right now.

QUESTION...I live on the north shore of Oahu, in a single wood cedar house built in 1981, should I go to a shelter? Or should I be fine here at home?

Before a Hurricane
http://www.ready.gov/hurricanes
To prepare for a hurricane, you should take the following measures:

To begin preparing, you should build an emergency kit and make a family communications plan.
Know your surroundings.
Learn the elevation level of your property and whether the land is flood-prone. This will help you know how your property will be affected when storm surge or tidal flooding are forecasted.
Identify levees and dams in your area and determine whether they pose a hazard to you.
Learn community hurricane evacuation routes and how to find higher ground. Determine where you would go and how you would get there if you needed to evacuate.
Make plans to secure your property:
Cover all of your home’s windows. Permanent storm shutters offer the best protection for windows. A second option is to board up windows with 5/8” exterior grade or marine plywood, cut to fit and ready to install. Another year-round option would be installation of laminated glass with impact-resistant glazing. Tape does not prevent windows from breaking.
Install straps or additional clips to securely fasten your roof to the frame structure. This will reduce roof damage.
Be sure trees and shrubs around your home are well trimmed so they are more wind resistant.
Clear loose and clogged rain gutters and downspouts.
Reinforce your garage doors; if wind enters a garage it can cause dangerous and expensive structural damage.
Plan to bring in all outdoor furniture, decorations, garbage cans and anything else that is not tied down.
Determine how and where to secure your boat.
Install a generator for emergencies.
If in a high-rise building, when high winds are present, be prepared to take shelter on a lower floor because wind conditions increase with height, and in a small interior room without windows. When flooding may be occuring, be prepared to take shelter on a floor safely above the flooding and wave effects.
Consider building a safe room.
Hurricanes cause heavy rains that can cause extensive flood damage in coastal and inland areas. Everyone is at risk and should consider flood insurance protection. Flood insurance is the only way to financially protect your property or business from flood damage. To learn more about your flooding risk and how to protect yourself and your business, visit the Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration (NFIP) Web site,www.floodsmart.gov or call 1-800-427-2419.
