I’m so upset to hear about Lahaina. This Banyan tree was truly such a special place. I took this video while walking through it in 2019. Listen to how beautiful. I hope it and the town somehow survives 😔 #lahainafire #LahainaStrong

Hilary looks more and more like Kathleen that caused major damage in 1976. Except Kathleen was barely a Cat 1 and #HurricaneHilary is now a Cat 4. If forecasts are correct, both will be a depression entering California.

Center of #HurricaneHilary will pass So. Nevada tomorrow (Sunday) evening, after which we can expect the peak of winds. Right now, those winds forecasted under advisory level, 20-35 mph with gusts to 45 into Monday morning. *Won’t hurt to secure outdoor items*
