Early reports Hurricane Fausto became a Category 2 storm Friday as it intensified. Wind speeds reached 100 mph as measured by satellites measured by aircraft. Current forecasts show it weakening before hitting Hawaii or shifting north potentially as a tropical storm early next week. Hawaii officials told people to finish storm prep Friday in anticipation of impacts but still caution advised. The risk of heavy damage dropped significantly but big waves remained a problem. Shorelines will see 15-foot surf through the weekend posing threats to swimmers for beachgoers. The storm moves west now as expected and could impact navigation. It could come close to Hawaii likely by Tuesday or Wednesday according to projections. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center round the clock keeps tracking it throughout its path.
