According to the latest data Hurricane Fausto became a Category 2 storm Friday as it intensified. Wind speeds reached 100 mph according to radar measured by aircraft. Latest forecasts show it weakening before hitting Hawaii or shifting north possibly as a tropical storm early next week. Hawaii officials told people to finish storm prep Friday to stay safe yet urged vigilance. The risk of heavy damage dropped substantially but big waves continued a problem. Shorelines will see 15-foot surf through the weekend that could affect coastal activities along the coast. The storm moves west now as expected and could impact navigation. It could come close to Hawaii possibly by Tuesday or Wednesday if current trends hold. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center officially keeps tracking it with regular updates.
