Summary
[edit]DescriptionHurricane Lane (MODIS 2018-08-28).jpg |
English: On August 25, 2018, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of former Hurricane Lane as it weakened in the ocean south of the western Hawaiian Islands.
Although Lane had been downgraded to a Tropical Storm, bands of thunderstorms stretched to the north and east bringing more drenching rainfall over the islands, including the Big Island (Hawaii). At 8:00 a.m. EDT (2:00 a.m. local time) on August 25, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center reported that Lane’s outer rain bands were producing flooding across parts of the Hawaiian Islands. Extreme rainfall triggered flooding and landslides across Hawaii. Preliminary rainfall totals of 2-4 feet were reported across the windward side of the Big Island, with two locations recording even higher amounts. As of August 26, the National Weather Service Honolulu reported that former Hurricane Lane produced the third highest storm total rainfall from a tropical cyclone in the United States since 1950. Preliminary rain totals at Mountain View registered 51.53 inches (1,309 mm). The highest rainfall total from a tropical cyclone in Hawaii’s recorded history is 52.00 inches (1,321 mm), dropped by Hurricane Hiki in 1950. |
