we have learned that all tropical storm watches and warnings have been cancelled for hawaii but a flash flood watch does remain in effect as the storm starts to turn away from the island at a very sluggish pace, it s a slow mover. steve harrigan is in honolulu this afternoon with more on that. steve, i see people it looks like they are at the beach? it s been a beach yesterday and beach today despite some dire warnings and a major hurricane that looked like for a while it was going to make a direct hit on honolulu. instead we heard from the mayor a short time ago in a celebratory press conference saying we have dodged a bullet. you had a storm going from category 5 hurricane with winds over 155 miles-an-hour down to right now not even a tropical storm. however, it has been a rain event, a slow-moving storm at just about 5 miles-per-hour. it s dumped a ton of rain, especially on the big island in hawaii, more than 45 inches in some places, catastrophic flooding caused. rivers over t
