Our goal is to keep you and occupants on property updated routinely during these changing times and posting recommendations as they come in. Some recommendations may appear vague and contradictive of other items but, the overall goal is the same: encourage common sense and protect the health and welfare of our owners, guests and tenants the best we can during this world-wide epidemic.

TROPICAL STORM WARNING CONTINUES – MAUI COUNTY
Issued Wednesday, September 12, 2018 at 5:00am
Note that due to safety of our staff, the office will remain closed as the storm is just off Maui and set to hit us head on.
EVENT: The National Weather Service has CONTINUED a TROPICAL STORM WARNING for MAUI COUNTY.
A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area with 36 hours.
Make sure all guests are prepared. See the Owner/Guest Emergency Handout for recommended actions.
All owners please notify your on island agents/reps to get all lanai furniture inside until this Watch is cancelled…Mahalo!!!
EFFECTS: Tropical storm Olivia will bring strong winds, heavy rainfall, and high surf to much of the state today into tonight, with the potential for additional heavy rainfall continuing through Thursday night. Winds have increased to minimal tropical storm force near 40 mph with gusts to 50 mph over parts of Maui County during the night.
Tropical storm force winds are expected to continue across Maui County. The mountainous terrain of the islands will produce localized areas of highly enhanced winds away from the center of Olivia, which can cause damage before the onset of more widespread tropical storm force winds.
Showers and areas of moderate to heavy rain will continue to increase today, with flooding rainfall a significant threat through Thursday night. Expect storm rainfall totals of five to ten inches, with isolated areas reaching up to 15 inches. Much of this rainfall will be focused on windward areas of the islands. Flooding remains a significant threat for all areas, particularly as Olivia moves through the islands.
Swells and surf generated by Olivia will remain at damaging levels along east facing shores today. Surf heights along east facing shores are expected to reach up to 20 feet on Molokai and Maui. Expect surf to reach 10 to 14 feet along the east facing shores of Lanai. This surf is expected to result in significant beach erosion and over-wash onto vulnerable coastal roadways, particularly during high tides.
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES: IT IS VITAL THAT YOU DO NOT FOCUS ON THE EXACT FORECAST TRACK. FORECAST MOVEMENT, DIRECTION, AND SPEED ARE ONLY ESTIMATES. EVEN SMALL ERRORS IN THE FORECAST TRACK CAN MEAN MAJOR DIFFERENCES IN WHERE THE WORST CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR. DAMAGING EFFECTS CAN EXTEND FAR FROM THE CENTER.
NOW IS THE TIME TO PREPARE. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. STAY CALM AND KEEP INFORMED. CLOSELY MONITOR RADIO OR OTHER LOCAL NEWS OUTLETS FOR OFFICIAL STORM INFORMATION. LISTEN FOR WARNINGS OR CHANGES TO THE FORECAST.
LOOSE OBJECTS SUCH AS LAWN FURNITURE, GARBAGE CANS, AND OTHER ITEMS SHOULD BE SECURED OR STORED INDOORS. HAVE SUPPLIES ON HAND AND BE READY FOR POWER OUTAGES.
BE READY TO EVACUATE IF NECESSARY. HEED ALL ADVICE OF LOCAL OFFICIALS AND COMPLY WITH ANY ORDERS THAT ARE ISSUED. PERSONS LIVING NEAR THE SHORE SHOULD BE PREPARED TO EVACUATE QUICKLY SHOULD BUILDING SURF THREATEN.
INFORMATION: Maui County Emergency Management Agency will continue to monitor the situation. Please listen to your local radio and TV stations or NOAA Weather Radio for any updates. NOAA Weather broadcasts can be reached by calling 1-866-944-5025. NOAA Weather internet services can be found at weather.gov/hawaii.

TROPICAL STORM WARNING – MAUI COUNTY
Issued Tuesday, September 11, 2018 at 5:00am
EVENT: The National Weather Service has CONTINUED a TROPICAL STORM WARNING for MAUI COUNTY.
A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area with 36 hours.
Make sure all guests are prepared. See the Owner/Guest Emergency Handout for recommended actions.
All owners please notify your on island agents/reps to get all lanai furniture inside until this Watch is cancelled…Mahalo!!!
EFFECTS: Olivia is expected to bring strong winds, heavy rainfall, and high surf to parts of the state this week. Olivia is forecast to close in on the main Hawaiian Islands Tuesday, then move over portions of the island chain Tuesday night and Wednesday. Do not focus on the exact forecast track or intensity of the storm and be prepared for changes in future forecasts. Also, keep in mind that although Olivia is forecast to be a weaker storm near the islands than Lane, the impacts of Olivia could be significantly worse due to its passage directly over the islands.
Damaging tropical storm force winds are expected to begin as soon as late Tuesday afternoon or Tuesday evening across Maui . Additionally, hurricane force wind gusts are possible as Olivia moves across the state Tuesday night and Wednesday. Remember that the mountainous terrain of Hawaii can produce localized areas of highly enhanced winds, even well away from the tropical cyclone center.
The chance for flooding rainfall will increase rapidly Tuesday night and remain a significant threat through Thursday. Storm total rainfall amounts are expected to be around 10 to 15 inches, with isolated areas up to 20 inches. Much of this will be focused on windward areas of the islands, especially from Oahu through the Big Island, however, flooding is still a significant threat for all areas.
Swells and surf generated by Tropical Storm Olivia will continue to slowly build through Tuesday, and reach damaging levels on some east facing shores Tuesday and Wednesday. Surf heights along east facing shores are expected to reach up to 20 feet across Maui County. This surf is expected to result in significant beach erosion and overwash onto vulnerable coastal roadways, particularly during high tides.
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES: IT IS VITAL THAT YOU DO NOT FOCUS ON THE EXACT FORECAST TRACK. FORECAST MOVEMENT, DIRECTION, AND SPEED ARE ONLY ESTIMATES. EVEN SMALL ERRORS IN THE FORECAST TRACK CAN MEAN MAJOR DIFFERENCES IN WHERE THE WORST CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR. DAMAGING EFFECTS CAN EXTEND FAR FROM THE CENTER.

TROPICAL STORM WARNING – MAUI COUNTY
Issued Monday, September 10, 2018 at 5:30am
EVENT: The National Weather Service has ISSUED a TROPICAL STORM WARNING for MAUI COUNTY.
A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area with 36 hours.
All owners please notify your on island agents/reps to get all lanai furniture inside until this Watch is cancelled…Mahalo!!!
EFFECTS: At 5:00 am, the center of Hurricane Olivia was located near latitude 21.7 North, longitude 148.0 West. Olivia is moving toward the west near 10 mph (17 km/h). This general motion is expected to continue early today, followed by a turn toward the west-southwest starting later today. This west-southwest motion is expected to continue through Tuesday night. On this forecast track, tropical storm conditions are expected over parts of Hawaii starting late Tuesday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast today, with slight weakening starting tonight and continuing through Tuesday. However, Olivia is forecast to be a strong tropical storm when it reaches the Hawaiian Islands.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 980 mb (28.94 inches).
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area starting late Tuesday.
RAINFALL: Olivia is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations of 10 to 15 inches. Isolated maximum amounts of 20 inches are possible, especially over windward sections of Maui County . This rainfall may produce life-threatening flash flooding.
SURF: Large swells generated by Olivia will spread from east to west across the Hawaiian Islands early this week. This will cause surf to build along exposed east facing shorelines as Olivia approaches. This surf may become damaging across parts of the state

Watching Hurricane Olivia Now
We hope it disintegrates, but Hurricane Olivia is approximately 1,400 miles east of Hawaii Island going 16mph. It is currently a Category 3 storm with 115mph winds. Predictions are by Wednesday between 2am and 5am, it will weaken to a 65mph wind-speed and a Tropical Storm.
The “cone of uncertainty”, shown above, shows the potential for the storm impacting Hawaii bringing heavy rain and gusty winds. We will keep you updated as we move into next week. While we have “dodged bullets” before, it only takes ONE to cause damage to our property.
We would be negligent if we ignored these warnings.
Owners are asked, and encouraged, to keep in contact with on-island agents to ensure lanai furniture is in place when notified by our office that we are in an Emergency Response Mode and battening down property. Fifty (50) units warned ignored our emails during Hurricane Lane.
We can’t predict which hurricane might impact our island; our role is to remain vigilant in our attempt to communicate with you and your agents to secure your personal assets and the property following our plan. Your help is requested.

MAUI VISTA STORM UPDATE
SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 2018
Storm progress has slowed to 5mph which means storm effects will remain longer than earlier predicted.
Tropical Storm Lane is still a serious threat to Maui! Flash floods are dangerous to those going close to the water or driving around the island!
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Lane continues to weaken as a tropical storm thanks to strong shear off the islands, but authorities warn the threat of torrential rains and flooding continue.
A tropical storm warning has been dropped for the Big Island, but it remains posted for Oahu and Maui County. Meanwhile, Kauai County is still under a tropical storm watch.
At 5 a.m. Saturday, Central Pacific Hurricane forecasters said Lane was 110 miles south-southwest of Honolulu, or 165 miles south-southeast of Lihue, and moving north near 3 mph. It’s expected to turn toward the west and will pass south of Kauai and Niihau later in the day and evening.
The storm decreased slightly over the past few hours, packing maximum sustained winds of 60 mph.
Storm surges will cause oceans to be dangerous. Please stay away from the ocean and adjacent rocky areas.
FURTHER INFORMATION: Maui County Emergency Management Agency will continue to monitor the situation. Please listen to your local radio and TV stations or NOAA Weather Radio for any updates. NOAA Weather broadcasts can be reached by calling 1-866-944-5025. NOAA Weather internet services can be found at weather.gov/hawaii.
