We were on vacation last year when the hurricane hit the BI. We were on the west side of island, in the Waikoloa area. The hurricane hit, ran into the volcano, and just kind of stalled. We didn't even get rain, but we did get some sporadic wind gusts. The east side of the island got hammered. We met some vacationers who were on the east side, and it ruined their vacation. We just had a nervous night and were fine.

We moved to Kauai for a week, and it was awesome. If a storm came ashore there, it would be worrisome. Good luck to those there.
