The wider storm

Hurricane Hone, which formed in the Central Pacific, tracked towards the Hawaiian islands and passed by just south of the Big Island. Hurricane Hone's outer rain bands brought flooding to portions of the Big Island and the close proximity of the center of the storm brought widespread tropical storm force winds with pockets of power outages over the Big Island and Maui. Thousands of customers reportedly lost power and utility poles were damaged.

Began near Mountain View (19.6214, -155.2791).
