I posted SE and Hilo to show how big the easterly energy is closer to the approaching storm. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to chest high with occasionally bigger sets. Much bigger on eastern exposures, as the Waiehu webcam shows. Should be increasing all day.

 Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
