Kiko remains a hurricane , but should by tomorrow weaken into a tropical storm.  If the eye went over Hawaii, there would still be some devastation and a lot of flooding.  However, the track has been predicted to pass sufficiently north of the state such that high surf and associated damage might well be the only problem. In the West Pacific is  Typhoon Tapah,  which just attained typhoon strength today and made landfall over China well away from Macao. The Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of America are eerily quiet as high season begins.  No serious ocean storms are predicted for at least the next week. In the East Pacific is  Post-Tropical Cyclone Lorene  so inconsequential that it is not even shown on the map. She was a hurricane on September 3, strengthened to 85 MPH on the 4th, but later that day lost hurricane status. Almost all ocean storms in the East Pacific threaten Mexico, especially the Baha Peninsula, but only very rarely extend into California....

I've lived on the largest ocean, the Pacific, for virtually all my life.  I'm now on my longest cruise, across the Pacific Ocean from Sydney to Honolulu.  Almost 71% of the Earth's surface is completely covered by water, representing 96.5% of the water on this planet. There were once seven seas.  These became  five oceans. #1  Pacific Ocean Area:60,060,700 square miles. Average depth:  13,215 feet. Greatest depth:  Mariana Trench 36,198 feet. Has 25,000 islands. Is home to 50% of the world's ocean waters, although  another source  says 46.6%. Is the scene of the most nuclear bomb tests.  The Marshall Islands are more radioactive in some regions than Chernobyl. #2  Atlantic Ocean Area:  41,105,000 square miles. Average depth:  12,880 feet. Greatest depth:  Puerto Rico Trench 30,246 feet. #3  Indian Ocean Area:  26,469,500 square miles. Average depth:  13,002 feet. Greatest depth:  Sunda Trench 24,46...
