Hawaii in the eye of tropical storm Kilo


Hawaii is in the eye of a storm named Kilo which is raging across the Pacific and is on a trajectory that could threaten the Hawaiian Islands once it strengthens into a hurricane early next week. This has been indicated by the National Weather Service.
This is as reported in zeenews.india.com dated 22 August 2015.
At present, Kilo, was centered roughly 500 miles (800 km) south-southeast off Hawaii`s Big Island and, as per forecast, would remain on a northwesterly path before possibly taking a sharper turn north later.
Kilo has formed as Hurricane Danny, the first of the 2015 Atlantic season, strengthened into a potentially destructive Category 3 storm with winds measured at up to 115 mph.
Forecasts also indicate that the storm could grow into a Category 1 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 74 mph. This is as revealed by the National Weather Service`s Central Pacific Hurricane Centre in Honolulu.
