The Hawaii ranch best known as the setting for the “Jurassic Park” movies has been shuttered in advance of an anticipated direct hit from Hurricane Lane, according to a new report.
The Kualoa Ranch in Oahu — which has played host to celebs Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard — has canceled all its tours and closed its facilities as the storm approaches the island, TMZ reported .
TV reboots “Hawaii Five-0” and “Magnum P. I.” also film on the island, and have also shut down production as a safety precaution, according to the report.
The Category 3 storm has already dumped torrents of rain on Hawaii’s mostly rural Big Island on Thursday, causing road-blocking landslides.
Five people needed to be rescued from a flooded home in Hilo after a nearby gulch overflowed. They weren’t injured and were taken to a shelter.
Officials warned that even a lesser blow could do significant harm to Hawaii’s islands. Some areas could see up to 30 inches of rain.
Oahu has prepared in advance — with officials activating emergency siren systems and opening evacuation shelters, according to the Weather Channel .
The famous ranch has also been featured in “50 First Dates,” “You, Me and Dupree,” “Mighty Joe Young” and some 1960s Elvis Presley classics.
