Thanks for the link, as it looks it should pass us, lets hope that it stays that way. At work they have us getting prepared...just in case.
Aloha, Lisa

I experienced several tropical storms when I lived in Houston. They can be pretty miserable too, especially if they stall over top of you like the one we had.

Good luck and I hope it misses you.

Stay safe.

Thanks! Last night I came home thinking, now if I had to leave quick....what should I grab to put in the car? I was already starting to worry about all our books.....all our 1000's of books.....No way to get them all in the car.
We live 2 -3 blocks from the south shore...ground floor. I'm sure we would have some major damage...

A couple of useful links:

Naval Research Laboratory Satellite Imagery

(Estelle is clearly visible in the EPAC photo)

NOAA Marine Weather Honolulu

And for Estelle-specifics:

South. Turn south. Everybody think "south"...

Don't worry Justleesa, it will hit Kauai if it hits Hawaii. I was living in Kilauea when Iwa hit in 82. the eye passed right over our house. And then the next one in ....89? also hit Kauai.

That is two in a row for 'think south'.

Glad you didn't get hit by the storm.
