Re: Dangerous Flossie Remains Intense - Threatens Hawaii

If it made it up that far and made a direct landfall on the island, perhaps a small one. Otherwise, the angle of approach leaves no real stretch of water over which to build waves...in wave terminology, the fetch is quite short due to land interaction. I wouldn't worry too much that far north and west. However, having said that, I am not familiar with the topography of the region, so if there is someone with more intimate knowledge of the reason who wants to chime in, please do so.
