Sun, surf, and sand... this is what brings tourists to Hawaii.<br /> <br />But now, people are soaking up what they can. Two hurricanes are bearing down and are expected to hit the state over the next few days.<br /> <br />Hurricane Iselle is projected to make landfall on Hawaii's Big Island on Thursday with Hurricane Julio just a few days behind.<br /> <br />SOUNDBITE: UNIDENTIFIED TOURIST, SAYING:<br /> <br />"You come to Hawaii for the clear skies and beautiful weather so it's always a bit of a shock when you have to sit inside while the storm blows through."<br /> <br />Hotel workers are boarding up and people are scrambling to stock up on food, water, and gas.<br /> <br />Disaster coordinators are keeping a close eye on the two storms.<br /> <br />SOUNDBITE: BARNEY SHEFFIELD, RED CROSS, HAWAII'S DISASTER COORDINATOR, SAYING:<br /> <br />"It rains enough in Hilo that we would probably catch enough water that people would survive but it would be the food situation, there's a limited amount of food on island at any one time."
