These winter wind gusts seem to occasionally cause more damage than the near-miss hurricanes that sometimes also blow Puna around.
I sometimes enjoy it when it's blustery however these have been a bit much at points. (But I haven't cried uncle yet)
Time to break out the leaf-rake!

The high winds have cracked up a great opportunity for anyone that is interested in growing Moringa from cuttings, on the east side of Hawai`i Island.
We had a large "mother tree" that has been topped by the wind & have a bunch of branches to share with anyone that is willing to come & get them....
We are in Keaau Town, just 2 blocks from the town center..
Reply with contact # & your general availability... we are cutting the large branches afternoon 1/29, can leave the branches outside for your convenience, but only for a time (this wind will take them all the way to Pahoa & dry them out fast if left out....)

The top wind speed through the islands was in the 50s yesterday.
However the top speed for our island was 191 MPH on the summit!
