August 22, 2018

Hurricane Lane, which is currently bearing down on Hawaii, is “not a well behaved storm,” according to the state’s governor David Ige.

Spinning in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the hurricane has grown into a monstrous Category 5 storm, the most powerful type of hurricane with winds now reaching 160 mph. 

Tuesday evening, the National Hurricane Center called the cyclone “an impressive hurricane,” and forecast that the storm will “move dangerously close to the main Hawaiian Islands as a hurricane Thursday through Saturday.”
