Hurricane Flossie skirting near Maui, kids going surfing - By N.L. Belardes

Hurricane Flossie bands over Maui

My kids aren't on mainland Hawaii, but on Maui. Luckily the brunt of hurricane Flossie is southwest of the mainland.

When I spoke to my oldest boy by phone a few minutes ago, he said, "We're just now starting to see bands in the sky from the hurricane." Otherwise it had been a peaceful day.

"The waves have been flat," he said.

He mentioned he had been traveling around the island part of the day, though now he's headed toward Lahaina on the northwestern coast of Maui.

I talked to Lando from Dirty Spanglish. He sounded like he was about to go surfing.

Stay tuned for more pics...
