Hurricane Lane: Hawaii braces for category five storm

Not often does a category 5 threaten the last storm of this scale to come this close to Hawaii was John in 1994. I hope it veers off some ?
While we all sit in safety and in comfort some over there will loose things. I will be watching closely and hoping it is not like the nightmare that was Haiyan that devastated the Philippines in 2013 with over 6000 lost.

The US state of Hawaii is bracing for a category five hurricane - the second ever in the state's history - which could make landfall later this week. Lane was upgraded to a category five storm, the strongest on the scale, with sustained winds of 160mph (257km/h) on Tuesday. Forecasts say the islands will face strong winds and surging waves even if the storm does not make landfall. The last storm of this scale to come this close to Hawaii was John in 1994. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a hurricane warning for the Big Island and a hurricane watch for the islands of Oahu, Maui, Molokai and Lanai as of Wednesday morning. On the Big Island, the first in Hurricane Lane's path, damaging tropical storm and hurricane-force winds could pick up as soon as Wednesday afternoon or evening. President Donald Trump urged those in the path of the storm to prepare and listen to local officials.

I hope everyone there is preparing with whatever supplies they can get ahead of time. Will keep the Aloha State in my thoughts...

PS - don't worry, I'm sure Zuckerburg and other elites there will be fine so they can continue to take advantage of the masses

What happens when the rainwater flows into the underground magma chamber. Will everything cool down and solidify or explode?
