Anyway, another observation that locals here are "venting" also.
Venting is good for the soul. Doesn't mean you hate Puna or Hilo or rain. Just like it's good to vent about your loved ones...it's healthy.[]...
Another way to think of the opposing comments is that they are "rain vents" too - just of a different sort. Maybe many people are trying to look at it as rain gauge half empty rather than half full in this case.
Keep us posted on the vendor raindrop calendar...
The two years I remember were 1993? 1994? it rained from before Thanksgiving through Jan 3.; and 2005 maybe? Part of sept and all of Oct and big part of Nov.
