Hurricane Kiko has rapidly intensified into a Category 4 storm with sustained winds reaching 110 mph, and it's now on a direct path toward Hawaii’s Big Island. Experts warn it could make landfall as early as Tuesday evening, bringing dangerous storm surge, coastal flooding, and potentially destructive winds. :tornado:
Currently located about 1,665 miles east of Hilo, Kiko is strengthening fast, and spaghetti models show a tightly clustered path — pointing straight toward the Hawaiian islands. While no official warnings have been issued yet, residents are urged to prepare now: avoid flooded roads, secure property, and stay updated as conditions evolve.
This is the 11th named storm of the Pacific hurricane season, in a year that was forecast to be calmer than usual. But Kiko is proving otherwise.
