Approaching Hurricane Gilma Weakening


Residents in Hawaii are preparing for Hurricane Gilma after Tropical Storm Hone caused flooding and damage to the Big Island. Hone brought heavy rain and strong winds, leading to power outages, road closures, and disrupted air travel. Some parts of the island were still recovering on Tuesday, with some residents still without power. As Gilma approaches, forecasters are warning of potentially dangerous conditions, including torrential rain, heavy winds, and rip currents. Residents are taking precautions, such as securing outdoor items and harvesting fruit from trees. The storm is currently a Category 2 hurricane located over 1,000 miles east of Hilo, but is expected to weaken as it moves through the central Pacific basin. The Pacific has two basins for storms, with the eastern and central storms rarely affecting land areas. The Atlantic and eastern Pacific basins have rotating lists of names for storms, while the Central Pacific basin uses Hawaiian names. Hurricane Gilma is expected to maintain its name as it crosses into the central Pacific, while Hone was a storm that formed within the Central Pacific basin. Residents and officials in Hawaii are monitoring the storms closely and taking necessary precautions to ensure safety and preparedness.
