This is almost certain to happen now. Nearly all models agree on this.

Whether it will hit the islands or narrowly miss Kauai and Niihau, where it will hit, and when are all still shifting and the models are flipflopping back and forth, but it's time to prepare seriously.

Taking a day off work today to inventory the plywood panels under the house that I have cut to go over the windows, and make sure they're not rotted. Any windows I skipped the last time, we cut panels for those now.
