Hawaii Storm Update: Tropical Storm Iselle Downs Trees, Causes Power Outages, Structural Damage

Wind and rain continued to build overnight as Iselle, which was downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm late Thursday, approached Hawaii from the south. With maximum sustained winds of 70 miles per hour, the storm was just shy of the 74 mph that characterize hurricane-force winds. Officials say the impact of the storm will generally be the same as a hurricane, however, with rough surf, strong winds, heavy rain and flooding.
