Twin tropical cyclones well south of Hawaii
IR satellite imagery shows two tropical cyclones during Hawaii's overnight hours this early Wednesday morning. Iona to the SW does not appear to be close to 105 mph. In fact, the eyewall is very disrupted and this may not be a hurricane any longer. Keli is to the NE of the systems and has more convection, but it isn't as organized.
