Hurricane Lane was briefly a Category 5 storm but has now been downgraded to a Category 4.

The hurricane, which is forecast to began pummeling the Big Island Aug. 23, has already prompted the governor of Hawai‘i to declare a state of emergency.

Arnold and the crew of the @Space_Station send “much aloha to everyone there.”
