While Nastia may be safe from the wildfires, there are also concerns about Hurricane Dora. According to the National Weather Service, the category 4 storm was about 500 miles south of Hawaii, but still contributed to damaging winds on Maui.
Fortunately, forecasters said that wind speeds “will continue to decrease” over the next few days as the typhoon moves away from the island.
