As I predicted, Hurricane Lane was not "the Hurricane Maria for Hawaii," which some on Social Media claimed before the storm hit. Although they were both Category 5 storms, Lane's track, speed, and water temperature weakened him to the point that his winds (even most gusts) were below hurricane force on every island. The rain (see below) turned out to be the major problem.

STORM REPORTS & WARNINGS:

Local storm spotters issued a total of 35 Local Storm Reports including 19 flood and 16 wind damage reports and 18 Flood Warnings, but no severe thunderstorm or tornado warnings.

WAVES:

The only significant waves I could find were reported from Buoy 51002, at 32 feet.

PRESSURE:

The only super-low pressure report I could find was also from Buoy 51002, at 28.25" Hg.

RAINFALL:

The NWS has released their official list of totals, which contains some stations not available online. This lists Mountain View, Hawaii with 51.53" which they say is the 3rd highest rainfall total in the U.S.

This was just over AccuWeather's Local StormMax amount of 50 inches which I was instrumental in getting the company to commit to, after seeing similar model forecasts.

NWS (8/22 12PM - 8/26 2PM):

Mountain View: 51.53"
Waiakea Uka: 49.10"
Piihonua: 47.48"
Saddle Quarry: 47.20"
Waiakea: 43.99"

The NWS also issued this radar/gauge estimate map at 10 PM:

My unofficial list of rainfall totals of online stations is shown below. Note that these are all measured for different time frames. As it rains almost every day at some of the hardest-hit locations year-round, it's hard to say when the totals should start or stop. This map covers midnight 8/23 to 10 am 8/26:

I blogged in 2008 that "The Big Blow (1993)" episode of Magnum, PI, where a hurricane hits Hawaii, was likely modeled after Hurricane Iwa 1982 (4 dead, $312m dmg). https://t.co/GDBXPtj2ym #didyouknow #hawaiihurricanehistory #lane@magnumPIcbs pic.twitter.com/4uUdcMdBgy
