HONOLULU (AP) - The first storm in Hawaii weakened rapidly as the state approached, with a second system just behind him getting stronger and moving north of the islands.

The National Weather Service downgraded Iselle about 50 miles from a tropical storm before landing in the southern part of the Big Island of Hawaii early Friday. At 2 a. M. Hawaii Standard time on Friday, the storm turned around 10 miles off the coast of Kau.
Maui County spokesman Ryan Piros said it was raining outside and the wind was starting to change, but at night I heard a largely silent police scanner.
The wind and rain of the system were still strong enough to cut down trees, cause blackouts, and block roads on the Big Island. No deaths or serious injuries were reported. The storm should flood Hawaii with 5 to 8 inches of rain, with some up to a meter of rain.
