Tropical Storm Olivia
As the southeast United States deals with Florence and the Caribbean deals with Tropical Storm Isaac, Hawaii is dealing with Tropical Storm Olivia.
Olivia made landfall on the Hawaiian island of Maui on Wednesday, passing south of Oahu, and bringing heavy rain that flooded many roads.
The storm had a peak high of 40 miles per hour sustained winds and moved at about 20 miles per hour, according to the Central Pacific Hurricane Center.
"Remember that wind gusts can be much stronger near higher terrain, and in the upper floors of high-rise buildings," the Central Pacific Hurricane Center warned, according to CNN.
"Winds can also be especially gusty through gaps between mountains and where winds blow downslope."
