Aug 22), which means hurricane conditions are expected within 36 hours. A hurricane watch is still in effect for Honolulu and Kauai counties with deteriorating conditions expected within 48 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Early Wednesday, Lane weakened somewhat from Category 5, becoming a Category 4 storm and has maximum sustained winds near 155 mph. Forecasters say there is the possibility of the hurricane making a direct hit on one or more of the islands late this week and into this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLane was centered 315 miles south of Kailua-Kona, and moving west-northwest at 9 mph. Forecasters say hurricane-force winds will extend 40 miles from the center, while tropical-storm-force winds can be felt 140 miles from the eye,\u201d said Hawaii Public Radio.<\/p>\n<p>Local officials are hoping the storm tracks farther west because it would lessen the severity of impacts. The strength of the storm will depend on the storm\u2019s track in the next 12 to 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/sites\/default\/files\/inline-images\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-22-at-2.27.20-PM-600x493.png?itok=fTB0e7Q8\" data-image-external-href=\"\" data-image-href=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/inline-images\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-22-at-2.27.20-PM-600x493.png?itok=fTB0e7Q8\" data-link-option=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/sites\/default\/files\/inline-images\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-22-at-2.27.20-PM-600x493.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/inline_image_desktop\/public\/inline-images\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-22-at-2.27.20-PM-600x493.png?itok=fTB0e7Q8 1x\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"411\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"7b950f50-a308-4d58-942a-33b7c4f23bc1\" data-responsive-image-style=\"inline_images\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hawaii Gov.
