Because Of Course: Hawaii Might Get Another Hurricane Right After Hone

Oh, joy! Just when you thought it was safe to go back outside, Hawaii is staring down the barrel of another hurricane. Seriously, Mother Nature, bless your heart, but can you cut Hawaii some slack?

So, Hurricane Gilma is cruising along, about 1,260 miles east of Hilo, heading west like a tourist looking for the nearest tiki bar. According to the National Hurricane Center, this storm has max sustained winds of 100 mph. Gradual weakening is expected, but Gilma is forecast to remain a hurricane. Great, because we all know how much hurricanes love a dramatic exit.

AccuWeather says this whole double-whammy of storms within 300 miles hasn't happened since 1992. Because apparently, 2023 is the year we party like it's 1992.

Hurricane Hone Passes South of the Big Island

Oh, the party never ends. The Big Island was under a tropical storm warning until Sunday afternoon when Hurricane Hone decided to keep moving like a partygoer who can't quit when they're ahead.

National Weather Service reports "widespread rainfall of 10 to 15 inches," with local downpours up to 18 inches. Yeah, because the planet isn't drowning enough already.

And guess who's without power? About 16,000 people, according to poweroutage.us. The joys of modern living on an island paradise in the age of climate chaos!

And Now, We Have Tropical Storm Hector

As if two weren’t enough, a third system named Hector developed in the Pacific, nearly 1,000 miles west of Baja. The NHC forecasts it getting stronger over the next couple of days. Let's all raise a glass to our dear friend, overachievement!

Hurricane Gilma Tracker: Buckle Up

Well, Hawaii, you might want to stock up on those non-perishables and maybe invest in a good inflatable raft. And if you're feeling generous, send some good vibes to Mother Nature, because clearly, she's having a mood.
