Two huge hurricanes are heading straight for Hawaii, with weather forecasters predicting unprecedented winds and rain for the Big Island.
Hurricane Madeline, which could slam into the Big Island some time tomorrow, the first time the island has been hit by a hurricane. A second storm, Hurricane Lester, is following in its path.
The US National Weather Service said Madeline, a Category 3 hurricane, was expected to pass ‘dangerously close’ to Big Island, carrying heavy rain and strong winds.

The hurricane, which has sustained winds of 125mph, was 575 miles east of Hilo at 3am GMT today.
It is expected to dump up to 15 inches of rain on Hawaii.
‘This rainfall may lead to dangerous flash floods and mudslides,’ said an NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center spokesman.
The Big Island, officially known as Hawaii, is home to only 185,000 people, compared to Oahu – which includes the capital Honolulu – which has almost a million people.
Hurricane Madeline is due to brush past Hawaii’s Big Island on Wednesday and Thursday, dumping large amounts of rain

Hawaii County, which covers the Big Island, urged residents to stock up with food, water, flashlights, batteries and first aid supplies.
The county recommended residents make evacuation plans and move outdoor furniture inside.
Hurricane Lester, a Category 4 storm with winds of 130mph, is currently 1,000 miles east of Madeline, also heading for Hawaii but it is expected to lose strength before it reaches landfall.
The president is due to arrive on Thursday to give a keynote speech at the opening of the World Conservation Congress, a major meeting of thousands of delegates, including heads of state, scientists and policy makers.

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature stages the congress every four years at a different location around the globe.
Obama, who was born and grew up in Hawaii, is also expected to travel to Midway Atoll – scene of a famous Second World War battle – where he established the world’s largest marine reserve last week, home to thousands of rare sea creatures.
Hawaii is rarely affected by storms but in 1982 Hurricane Iwa devastated the islands – with wind gusts of 100mph, it damaged 2,345 buildings, leaving 500 people homeless.
