RE: storm - Kelena - 08-15-2007
I am quite sure it affected me more here in California than it did folks in Puna. I admit to being worried OUT OF MY GOURD.

It was very anticlimatic. A cat 3 storm came up to our doorstep and deflated. In Pahoa there was almost no wind and little rain to speak of. High level winds from the south simply shredded Flossie. Youcould well think the Hawaiian god of winds - Laamaomao? came to our defense. One wind defeated another.

I'm assuming my house is still standing, although it's on old stilts. Speaking of being worried out of your gourd Glen, did your "palapa" fly away? What actually is a palapa?

The most impessive part of "The big storm" was the morning before. it was dead calm and foggy in Leilani, deep, dense, very quiet fog. Weird here.

OK, was it just me, or did anyone else notice a "salt sea air" smell this morning... We are in Keaau town, & it smelled as if we were down on the docks...
That was the only thing that was amiss for us...

I think a palapa is one of those cocktail dispensing thatched huts they have on the beach in Mexico. I think you can get them prefab at www.palapakings.com
Cheers,
Jerry
