The center of Hurricane Flossie passed just south of Hawaii's Big Island yesterday, the closest to approach the islands in 15 years.

Flossie, now a tropical storm, rolled northeast and is expected to curve away from the islands, as seen in this NOAA image released at midnight local time on August 15.
