Tropical Storm Hone is invoking fears of wildfires as it churns on a path that will take it south of Hawaii’s Big Island, where strong winds could raise the risk of blazes amid drought conditions.
Hone has formed about 720 miles (1,159 kilometers) east-southeast of Hilo with top winds of 45 miles per hour, sparking a tropical storm watch on the Big Island. The storm is likely to pass south of the island on Saturday. Hone is stirring up memories of last year’s Hurricane Dora, whose powerful winds fanned blazes that killed 102 people and destroyed or damaged more than 2,000 structures.
