They have this one projecting a path right over the big island and then south of the rest of the chain...

And NOAA seems to think Iselle will take a track that skims north of the big island and impacts the other islands more...

I think the latter track could be more problematic...and Julio is lurking after Iselle passes...

I've skirted storms before in this area back in my squid days, even a moderate storm caused power loss and damage...towns can have partial or no power for a couple days or more...

Julio shaping up to run along the north side...

...they say a second storm weakens when following close on the heels of a first...I wouldn't think that way, just to be safe...
