take you out towards the pacific ocean, the island of hawaii right there, there's hilo.ere's hurricane izel at about 1200 miles east of hawaii. currently hitting a category three equivalent. the tracks do suggest it will get close to the hawaiian islands in the coming days. heavy rainfall going to be the main concern. but as you can see, a direct impact going to be a probability as it approaches, potentially a weak hurricane when it approaches that region. >> on the other side of the united states, we're talking about tropical storm bertha. 60 miles per hour winds. has the potential to be a hurricane, but all the models steer it away from the united states. at this point it looks like not a major player for severe weather in the thunderstorms in the united states. good news there. >> would you say last hour, natalie, bye-bye bertha? >> bye-bye bertha. we'll wait for the letter c storm to see what happens next. >> thanks, pedram. >>> still to come, commemorating a milestone. britain declaring war on germany, what would become world war i. we'll tell you how it's being rem

away to the hawaiian islands and you can see they are very isolated out here in the middle of the pacific ocean. and this actually is so far from the continental united states, that it's not covered or updated by the national hurricane center. there's a different center called the central pacific hurricane center. that is based here in honolulu. and that gives the updates is iselle you can see how much it has lost its strength. there is not a well defined eye anymore. and this is the next approaching storm. that's hurricane julio which as of the latest advisory still a category 3 storm. so it is still packing a punch but right now in the need time frame, we're -- immediate time frame. we're still looking at the very heavy rain impacting the big island of hawaii and you can see the outer bands that are moving toward the other chain of islands and in the center of the big island, there's a 14,000-foot peak. so that actually not only diminishes the winds of the storm, but it also really wrings out a lot of that moisture and gets some of that very heavy rainfall which is why they have flooding conc

for most of the year, this potential shipping lane, cuts through canada from the atlantic to the pacific ocean. for the first time in history the passage recently became ice free during the summer months. if it stays that way, the distance ships have to travel from europe to parts of asia, could be cut by thousands of kilometers. billions of dollars in transportation costs could be saved. but canada has repeatedly resisted claims that the passage is part of international waters. >> as the ice melts, as the technology improves, as the international regime evolves, whats happening is the arctic ocean is becoming an ocean like any other. the challenge for the arctic states, are countries like china, japan, south korea, the european union, are saying this is becoming an iternational space...we want to participate. currently in 2012, there is push back to that idea. the us and canada similarly. have agreed to disagree about the status of the nothwest passage. the united states and other countries see the northwest passage as a stait used for inernational navigation, all vessels have a right to tran

. >> happening now in the pacific ocean, hurricane iselle and julio are churning toward the hawaiian islands at this hour. you can see the surf already starting to kick up. as if two hurricanes aren't bad enough, an earthquake rattled the islands today as well. the quake was just a 4.5 magnitude. so there was no major damage and the focus still remains on these two incoming storms. chief meteorologist scott williams tracking all of this, and scott, this is the first time in 20 years that hawaii is looking at something like this. trouble in paradise. the last time a hurricane made a direct impact on hawaii was back in 1992. watching iselle category one storm maximum winds 75 miles per hour. but right on its heels we're talking about category two hurricane maximum sustained winds 105 miles per hour. but as we take look at the the next 12 hours, spa got tee plots taking it right to the big island within the next 12 hours. and that will be a direct hit for the big island. it should weaken bit right now it's a minimal category one hurricane but it can weaken to tropical storm. we'll keep

. >> reporter: our latest view from space -- two hurricanes swirling over the pacific ocean. their target -- paradise. >> just hoping we can get most of our trip in. no plan b just quite yet, so we're working on that. >> reporter: people streaming into the airports. airlines changing flights for free so folks can get out before iselle gets in. >> safer to go home so we wouldn't get stuck. >> this is due to hurricane iselle and julio. >> reporter: carts full, hawaiians taking the fast seriously. i iselle likely hitting thursday night into friday. julio tailing her, weakening and turning north away from the islands. so how often does this turn into this? only two hurricanes have made land fall in hawaii since 1949. dot in 1959 and iniki in 1992, both making land fall in kawhi, the western most island. iselle and julio are approaching from the east. before this only one unnamed tropical storm in 1958 made land fall across that similar line. >> ginger is tracking the warnings and watches tonight. >> i like to remind people, warning means it's going to happen. then the tropical st

so hopefully we will start to see some storm systems developing out there in our beautiful pacific ocean as we head throughout the next couple months. but as of right now, the only thing we're tracking as far as moisture coming through the bay area, little bit of fok out there. 61 degrees in san francisco. good morning, half-moon bay, you're at 61, 59 for san carlos. 62 in oakland, and starting out comfortably this morning out in the tri-valley, upper 50s for you in livermore, pleasanton, and dublin. clouds give away to a beautiful day today. about 82 degrees in the south bay. 79 degrees is the forecasted high for the peninsula and upper 60s today in san francisco. so another stunner, but this is it my friends, rapid heating starts tomorrow, really kicks in for thursday, then after that, we might get a little spritz like i told you. i'm going to show you what the models are suggesting. we've got one that's pretty aggressive bringing in a very slight chance for showers. impressive like the north bay, but better down in the south bay. stick around, forecast is coming up. here's traffic wit

the 77-kilometer waterway connects the atlantic and pacific oceans. opened in 1914, it transformed international trade by creating a significant shortcut before a ship traveling from new york to san francisco, for example, had to go around the tip of south america. but the canal cuts that journey by more than half saving more than 12,600-kilometers. today the canal transports about 5% of the world's total cargo volume between 12 and 15,000 ships across the panama canal every year, rachel evans looks at the history and legacy of the canal. >> reporter: climbing aboard another ship is the least challenging part of vilma romero's day. after she checks in, she literally takes command and begins plotting the navigation of the 10,000-ton vessel. the panama canal is the only place in the world where captain's have to turnover control to canal captain loopings salt lake vilma. she was the first panamanian women to steer the ships through the waters. >> many times the captain says it's the first time working with a female pilot. we are not too many around the
