Sounds like I should have gone out and joined in with the stock-up frenzy.
Nah I think you'll be fine 1V1. There will still be plenty of food for sale in the supermarkets. We won't starve and when the Matson containers come in again in two weeks people can go on yet another shopping frenzy and boost the economy.

I do not remember exactly where, I think it was an official source, NWS(?), a rainfall estimate of 15" was made earlier.
Might be able to take a run up Pohaku to see a whitewater river running across it.

This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.

extremely intense light breeze along with a super powerful gentle misting rain, this is the most vigorous weather event I have ever experienced

It's just a tad bit freaky (for the other islands, not Puna) because it's still so big and strong and it's taking a course unlike Iniki or any other they have to compare it to.

As I have been saying:
expect more to follow the storm. Like maybe tonight or tomorrow. This is early still. There was a lot of moisture on that map.

Why would anyone think that tonight or tomorrow morning will "follow the storm"? This storm is not even predicted to pass by our latitude to the west until tomorrow night...
We will be in the weather potential (with a lot of water vapor in the storm system)of this storm for the next FEW DAYS!

& YES the storm will be west of us (barring any freaky path turn... which I have seen storms do in the past)
Our mountains will have some effect, but as was seem with Iselle, areas of mountain pass cuts, like Waimea, may actually get some of the worst effects...
AND everyone must remember that the storm tops of these storms are well over 40K high... our less than 14K high mountains are more like speed bumps than storm stoppers... & a cat 4 or 5 storm has the potential of doing some over-the-mountain trouble-making!
