Keeping an eye on Flossie Tropical Storm Flossie is starting to become a problem for fans traveling to the Honolulu show, as Tropical Storm watches & warnings have been posted for the islands, and flights are being cancelled. If you're traveling today, be sure to check with your airline and see what your status is, and if you can move your flight to an earlier or later time. As soon as I hear anything about the show going on or being canceled/postponed, I'll post ASAP. Good luck, safe travels, and let's all keep our fingers crossed that it all works out.
Just read about it on COF and it sounds not good. If they have to cancel their performance then it's understandable why, safety first Nevertheless i hope the storm turns off. Keep my fingers crossed
I walk wondering why, the same dream so many times
I went on www.weather.com Plugged in Honolulu and got this. Tropical Storm Flossie continues its westward march toward the Hawaii, albeit in a weakening state.
Flossie, the sixth named storm of the eastern Pacific hurricane season, formed just over 1000 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California last Wednesday.
Flossie is adrift in a reservoir of dry air in the upper levels of the atmosphere, and is being sheared by northerly winds aloft. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center says Flossie's center of circulation has been displaced away from what little convection remains.
Nonetheless, a tropical storm warning is now in effect for all eight of the main Hawaiian Islands.

Flossie's center of circulation will glide over or near the "Big Island" of Hawaii Monday. This will lead to gusty winds and the potential for some tree damage, higher swells reaching east-facing shores, and an attendant threat of rip currents.
Flossie will also bring showers, including some locally heavy squalls, to both windward and leeward locations of the Hawaiian Islands through Tuesday.
All of Hawaii is under a flash flood watch. Depending on the exact track of Flossie and the positioning of thunderstorms relative to its center, rain could be heavy enough to cause flash flooding, rockslides, and mudslides in higher terrain.
Overall, Flossie is behaving similar to Hawaii's history of tropical cyclones; namely, the majority weaken to either a tropical depression or minimal tropical storm by the time they reach the islands, with a few notable exceptions.
