Hawaii’s acting governor declared a statewide state of emergency as Hurricane Kiko continues to swirl toward the islands as a major Hurricane.
Forecasters are still confident the storm will weaken considerably by the time it gets close to the islands early next week and enters cooler Pacific Ocean waters, but may still remain a powerful tropical storm carrying potential for heavy rain and large, dangerous surf.
