Another hurricane is barreling toward Hawaii - Joziah German

Hurricane Olivia makes her way to the Hawaiian islands as early as Tuesday evening. Now a category 1 storm, she is growing steadily with intensifying winds. With Olivia likely remaining a threat, local officials are already issuing warnings and watches. "While it is too soon to determine the location and magnitude of the worst impacts, all interests in Hawaii should continue to monitor the progress of Olivia, and use this time to prepare for the increasing likelihood of direct impacts from this system early next week," the center warned. Olivia is going to be the second tropical storm to hit the Hawaii Islands within the year. Although Olivia is serving some help to the islands moderate drought, she will cause flash flooding which is a concern. Olivia is determined to be the wettest tropical storm on record to hit Hawaii, surpassing Hurricane Hiki in 1950.

Allison Chinchar and Haley Brink, CNN, produced this article Sunday morning September 9th, 2018. This article was published the same day officials in Hawaii were issuing warnings and threats to the islands. Hurricanes are a very dangerous natural disaster that can be difficult to track and predict, making them a high alert for anyone in their way. Reading about this Hurricane soon to hit Hawaii all I can think about is last years gruesome storm that hit the Houston area, and how many died and the timely cleanup thereafter. This article, I assume, was not for the people living in Hawaii because I hope they got notified way before this article came out, but it's for the rest of the nation to hear and know about before Olivia hits. Hearing about this storm, all we can do is wait for it to take its path. The author created this article for the purpose of informing the nation of the storm that will hit the Hawaiian islands this week. This article is important and is relevant to our lives because it is about a life-threatening hurricane approaching islands that are too far to seek aid from the U.S. and don't really have a proper evacuation plan if the islands go under the Pacific.
