Kauai residents are emptying store shelves and lining up for gas ahead of an approaching storm, disrupting a holiday weekend that was supposed to bring visitors to the island.

• Gas stations have long lines, and people are buying any container that can hold fuel.
• Generators flown in overnight sold out the same day.
• Sunday's marathon has not been canceled, but organizers are reviewing the weather with county officials.
• Some visitors canceled flights or sent family home, while others are still flying in for the race.
• Residents who lived through past hurricanes say they are not taking chances and are checking on neighbors.

Outlook: The storm's track over the next day will decide whether the marathon and weekend travel go ahead.
