. >> residents in hawaii cleaning up this morning after tropical storm issell. the storm continues to dick up, up to a foot of rain. look at that. at one point, there were 33,000 homes without power. but at least it looks like the big island won't be hit by hurricane julio which is right behind iselle. it is a category 3 and expected to weaken over the weekend. here to tell us more about that and where the storm is head asked our meteorologist, ebony deon. >> good morning, morgan. iselle is post-tropical. you can barely make it out on the satellite 16 but julio is moving in behind it. it looks like it will pass to the north of the islands. right now, it's located about 600 miles off to the east of helo after it tracks to the west/northwest, it's going to make more of a northerly track just above the islands, getting into some cooler waters, but, as it does approach, it is expected to maintain its status as a hurricane and then eventually, by monday evening, just nort of kauai, it should weaken into a tropical storm. nonetheless, it bears watching. things look go

the first hurricane isselle expected to arrive tonight. >> we have been maintaining our message to the public. for those people in the prone areas and vulnerable areas to take appropriate action. they are getting that information well in advance of tonight. patti ann: maria molina is live in our extreme weather center. >> reporter: it's rare for a hurricane to hit hawaii, but now we have two. it appears julio who stay north of of the island. but it's a significant storm system and it's becoming more compact as it's intensifying with maximum sustained winds at 100 miles an hour. but the imminent threat is iselle. it's only 350 miles to the east-southeast of hilo. we are expecting the impact to be 8:30 p.m. hawaiian time. you can see it start to erode. it's going to hold its strength at least we think so until it makes landfall. it forecasted to continue over the island as a tropical storm the next couple days. but i don't think the wind will be the big tory with iselle. -- the big story with iselle. we have mountaintops as high as 30,000 feet. take a look at at come pair on here. we hav

emergency supplies to the population on this mountain, and also, as necessary, to take air strikes against issel as they threaten the people on that mountain and to date, i believe we've taken in the range of seven air strikes associated with that mission. at the same time, there needs to be a lasting solution that gets that population to a safe space where they can receive more permanent assistance. so what the president has done is authorized the the president has authorized the deployment of roughly 100 30 u.s. military personnel, who will assess the situation in northern iraq. they then will make recommendations about how to follow through on an effort to get people off that mountain and to a safe place. you heard prime minister cameron indicate today they are cooperating with us in those efforts as well. these 130 personnel are not going to be in a combat role in iraq. they are there on a temporary getting the population off the mountain. this would be the effort to get them to a safe space. there are a range of ways for doing that. we have made decisions about how to carry out that mission

we will be flying in support for them, giving them the weapons so they can push issell back out and try to save these 50,000 people stuck on the mountains good with no food or water. >> this blew up friday an intensified this weekend. up to that point president obama had been dropping relief supplies from the air. he has said and said it again over the week end that no ground troops, we're in the doing that again in iraq. at what point does it spill over into triggering the necessity for ground troops. >> the necessarity foreground troops has existed for months. the question is whose troops. so the kurds have said give us the weapons. we will fight. they are a much better, more effective ferocious and dedicated force then the iraqi government troops would have been. but, you cannot do this from the era loan. the is is has to be for the on the ground, the groups have said give us the weapons, we will do it. we are very late to the game in giving them the means so that they can defend themselves and the longer you wait, just remember bad news doesn't get better with age. >> if you are chu

. >> so, mike, was hawaii sufficiently prepared for issel and how are they preparing for julio?n he spoke to us, were visibly relieved there were no injuries or death. while some may say hawaii was overprepared, they certainly were prepared for what happened. there were thousands of national guard troops on standby. another army of first responders responded immediately to every report. and there were reports of downed power lines, down trees, damaged the homes of some cars. all of that in the eastern quadrants of the big island and here on mayy as weui as well. the big island towards puna as well and there were significant reports of damage to a number of homes there. now, as for the oncoming threat, if it is still a threat, of hurricane julio, it is now less than 500 miles east of the longitude where these islands start and a track is projected to come about 200 miles north of the islands. that would be outside the impact zone for a hurricane. and outside the impact of eastern a tropical storm which is about 160 miles. but, there is something called the windshield wiper effect
