Hawaii was "very lucky" to escape destructive storms during this year's hurricane season, but residents should not forget the lessons of Hurricane Katrina on the Gulf Coast, says the director of the Central Pacific Hurricane Center.
It lasted in the Central Pacific from Sept. 18 to 24, contributing to high surf and some heavy rain on Oahu before moving north of the islands and dying.

With its latest discussion, CPHC is forecasting Daniel to strike the Hawaiian Islands on Friday as a strong tropical storm with sustained winds of 58 mph.
There is no eye evident in the circulation and the central dense overcast (CDO) region that Daniel has at the center of its circulation complicates remote intensity estimates.
Accordingly it is difficult to estimate Daniel's intensity since hurricane hunters do not operate this far into the Pacific.
