Hurricane Kiko has rapidly intensified into a Category 4 storm with sustained winds reaching 110 mph, and it's now on a direct path toward Hawaii’s Big Island. Experts warn it could make landfall as early as Tuesday evening, bringing dangerous storm surge, coastal flooding, and potentially destructive winds. :tornado:

Currently located about 1,665 miles east of Hilo, Kiko is strengthening fast, and spaghetti models show a tightly clustered path — pointing straight toward the Hawaiian islands. While no official warnings have been issued yet, residents are urged to prepare now: avoid flooded roads, secure property, and stay updated as conditions evolve.

This is the 11th named storm of the Pacific hurricane season, in a year that was forecast to be calmer than usual. But Kiko is proving otherwise.

00:00A monster storm is closing in on Hawaii, and it's gaining strength fast.
00:04Hurricane Kiko has now exploded into a Category 4 beast, with winds reaching 110 miles per hour.
00:10It's charging westward, and could slam into Hawaii's Big Island as early as Tuesday night.
00:15Right now, Kiko is overwhelmingly 600 miles east of Hilo, crawling at 7 miles per hour,
00:20but it's only getting stronger.
00:22Experts say it's still too early to predict the exact impact, but here's what we know.
00:27The spaghetti models, which track possible storm paths, are tightly aligned towards Hawaii.
00:33That means there's a strong consensus.
00:35This storm could hit, and hit hard.
00:38No official warnings have been issued yet, but coastal flooding is already a concern.
00:42High tides are pushing water into low-lying areas,
00:45and residents are being urged to move vehicles and gear to higher ground.
00:49This is the 11th named storm of the 2025 Pacific season,
00:53in a year that was supposed to be quieter than usual.
00:56If Kiko makes landfall at full force, it could be the strongest storm to hit Hawaii in years.
01:02Stay alert.
01:03This storm is not to be underestimated.
