Winds this strong can cause tree damage, power outages, and make driving difficult.

Due to the high winds and surf, the following advisories are issued:

• Consider moving any planned outdoor Thanksgiving Day events indoors.

• Consider postponing hanging any outdoor holiday decorations and securing all outdoor items which may become damaged or airborne.

• Those with shoreline property or boats from Upolu Point in North Kohala south through Hamakua and Hilo to Cape Kumukahi in Puna, please take this time to secure your property from high surf.
