EU diplomats regard first tranche of no-deal papers “as part of an elaborate British bluff… one EU diplomat predicted the UK would “ask for an extension [to negotiations] and that this extension will last for the whole transition period.” https://t.co/fDuB3MUc5I

A ‘no deal’ Brexit would be an unmitigated disaster – and the fact that UK govt is even talking about it is evidence of their abject failure. That they once had the nerve to tell us that independence threatened our place in Europe adds insult to injury. Scotland deserves better. https://t.co/zDQWuajRAC

So the DUP’s ‘ingenious’ solution to the Brexit border problem is a 15 billion pound bridge to Scotland, the like of which has never been built, that will somehow be paid for by someone else… ?

Right now, I'd give that scenario a 50/50 chance of happening.
GFS has about a 60-80% chance of landfall right now in Maui and Oahu. And remember this is probably a bit of an overestimate. But it's worth planning for.

The Big Island of #Hawaii is geologically young, so it has not developed defined waterways in some areas. These younger waterways are more prone to overflowing during rainstorms. So Hawaii is used to #flooding, but Hurricane #Lane is intensifying it. pic.twitter.com/ttWWJpogml
