Iselle, through recon reports, has been stronger than anticipated at this time, which warranted the Hurricane Warning for the big Island. The actual track of the storm is slightly north of the forecast track in the above image, which would likely mean more impact for the Big Island and Maui than currently indicated.
Typically flhurricane does not cover storms outside the Atlantic, but exceptions are made for Hawaii. The available resources are much less, however.
Iselle made landfall on the Big Isle of Hawaii as a strong tropical storm.
