Typhoon Kilo, the everlasting Pacific Ocean storm, has achieved quite a bit in its long lifetime. Previously a hurricane, Kilo was reclassified into a typhoon as it hopped the international dateline on Tuesday. Now, forecast to strengthen over the next several days, Kilo is likely to become the longest-lived tropical cyclone in any ocean basin this year – swirling through the Pacific for at least another week.
We first started talking about Hurricane Kilo back on Aug. 19. It wasn’t a hurricane yet, just an area of thunderstorms that many forecast models were suggesting could threaten Hawaii.

Batten down the hatches, this could get really ugly. It's not going to die down anytime soon, so I hope all take the warnings seriously and take the necessary precautions to stay safe.
