Wind Advisory Sustained 30 mph Sunday 10/15 - Kiana - 10-15-2017
Let's hope they are wrong, but there is a Wind Advisory posted by NOAA:
WINDS...Sustained northeast to east winds near 30 mph, with
gusts near 50 mph. ( 10 am to 8 pm 10/15)
For Puna, that likely means multiple downed albizias and power outages. Fill your bathtub!

If only HellCo would kill the Albizia instead of just trimming it!

A good problem can keep on giving for years. A solved problem only pays out once.

Understood this dichotomy for years, even watched it in action on a few occasions. Still frustrating though!

The air is still in Orchidland. Have had some epic rain showers but no wind.

Give a man a tree to cut down, and he'll cut the tree once, that day.
Teach a man how to submit a bid for a county contract, and he'll trim trees little by little, for a lifetime.

Utility companies like HELCO are guaranteed a profit, after expending cash on "emergency expenses". They get expenses plus the PUC guaranteed profit percentage. Iselle was a great profit maker for HELCO as a result. There is no incentive to do normal tree maintenance.

Hmmm. In my experience you can cut down a tree and it will spring back as a five-headed hydra---sometimes even after poisoning it.
But you point is well taken.
No wind to speak of in Opihikoa...

HOTPE, Mahalo for classic post - as others following have noted, this is true -- for me, entertaining as well
