According to the latest data Hurricane Fausto became a Category 2 storm Friday as it intensified. Wind speeds reached 100 mph as measured by satellites detected by radar. Latest forecasts show it weakening before hitting Hawaii or shifting north likely as a tropical storm early next week. Hawaii officials told people to finish storm prep Friday in anticipation of impacts while urging readiness. The risk of heavy damage dropped significantly but big waves continued a problem. Shorelines will see 15-foot surf through the weekend posing threats to swimmers along the coast. The storm moves west now slowly and could impact navigation. It could come close to Hawaii possibly by Tuesday or Wednesday if current trends hold. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center round the clock keeps tracking it as it evolves.
