00:00Hurricane Kiko is charging toward Hawaii, and even though it's weakening, this storm still packs a dangerous punch.
00:06A state of emergency has been declared across Hawaii.
00:09Kiko was once a Category 4 hurricane, but is now down to a Category 2.
00:14Still, it's bringing winds up to 110 miles per hour.
00:18And it's closing in, just 635 miles east of Hilo.
00:22By Tuesday, Kiko is expected to weaken into a tropical storm.
00:26But don't let that fool you.
00:27Forecasters warn of massive waves, life-threatening surf, and dangerous rip currents.
00:33Swells could hit the Big Island in Maui as early as tonight.
00:36And peak surf is expected through midweek, even though a direct hit is unlikely.
00:41Just a slight shift in Kiko's track could change everything.
00:45Heavy rain and flash flooding are still real threats.
00:48Hawaii's acting governor has activated emergency teams.
00:51And the National Guard is on standby.
00:54Residents are urged to stay alert and prepare.
00:56Because when it comes to hurricanes, even near-misses can be deadly.
