Here we go! There are two hurricanes east of the Hawaiian Islands right now, Hurricane Jova and Hurricane Kenneth. I'm guessing they'll be in our neighborhood in about a week or so. Here's the latest NOAA bulletin:
Here are a couple of good local map references for storm tracking:

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
4 PM PDT FRI SEP 16 2005
FOR THE EASTERN NORTH PACIFIC... EAST OF 140 DEGREES WEST LONGITUDE.
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Jova, located about 1350 miles east-southeast of Hilo Hawaii, and on Hurricane Kenneth, located about 1165 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California.
The broad area of low pressure located about 750 miles south of the southern tip of Baja California is drifting slowly westward. This system has changed little today, but there is some potential for it to develop into a tropical depression during the next day or two , if it does not get absorbed into a larger disturbance located to the east.
A large tropical disturbance located about 400 miles south of Manzanillo Mexico has continued to become a little better organized this afternoon. The system is moving west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph, and it has the potential to develop into a tropical depression during the next day or so.
Elsewhere, Tropical storm formation is not expected through Saturday.
