THE READ — what this desk must decide today
A night landfall with red rain, a hurricane's rain on a populated coast, a two-day hurricane lead for Hawaii, and a moderate flood day.
Three shelter decisions on three clocks: tonight in south Odisha, where red rain meets the hill districts; now in Guerrero, where rainbands are on the slopes; and Friday in Hawaii, where a watch is likely today. District officers, civil-protection chiefs and county emergency managers own each call.
