Tropical Storm Olivia has passed Hawaii, according to the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA), although high winds and heavy rainfall may persist through Thursday.
According to the HTA, all of the Hawaiian Islands will continue to be under a flash flood watch through Friday at 6:00 a.m. local time. Wind advisories have also been issued for Oahu and Kauai, and there have also been isolated reports of power outages, fallen trees and landslides on Maui and Oahu, all of which have been addressed.
The storm forced some modifications to cruise itineraries in Hawaii, as well as a number of airlines to issue travel waivers.
A spokesperson for Norwegian Cruise Line tells Travel Agent that the Pride of America spent the day at sea Wednesday to avoid the storm, and that it will call in Hilo and Kona on Thursday and Friday.
