HONOLULU — The one-two hurricane punch that was supposed to hit Hawaii is looking more like a jab and a missed left hook.

After Hawaii cleared Tropical Storm Iselle largely without deterring sunbathers and surfers, the state looked toward Hurricane Julio, which was expected to pass roughly 160 miles northeast of the islands at its closest point early Sunday and linger near the state into Monday.

While prospects for Julio could quickly change, the storms appear to have been more a scare for Hawaii than a significant threat.

“This was no Sandy or Katrina or any other storm that you remember the name of,” said Sylvia Dahlby, 58, of Hilo, on the Big Island. The Big Island took the brunt of a weakening Iselle on Thursday night and early Friday. By late Friday night, the National Weather Service announced that it had canceled all storm watches and warnings for the state.

Iselle knocked down power lines, phones and trees, but it not did not cause major damage or injuries.

People were out and about throughout Hawaii on Friday afternoon after a nonexistent morning commute in usually congested Honolulu and elsewhere.

Wind and rain swept through Maui, Oahu and Kauai and lingered on the Big Island. The National Weather Service put Oahu and Kauai under flood advisories Friday night. Two communities in Puna were isolated by damaged roadways enough to prompt elections officials to postpone primary voting there.
