I was driving to Pahoa and had just driven around a tree in the road when I came to a second tree that you couldn't get around.When I stopped,I could hear the cracking of branches and tree trunks and decided it would be best to get the heck out of there.Before I turned around,I witnessed at least two other trees fall.
There were about 8 vehicles in between the two trees.We all turned around and when we got back to the first tree we couldn't get by because a tourist had stopped to take pictures.
Everyone has honking their horns and motioning for this guy to back up.A passenger in the car in front of me ran to the tourists car and convinced him to back out.
As we finally started past the tree another tree fell and smashed the top and hood of the vehicle behind me.
Thankfully I only had to deal with a scare and a power outage that lasted the rest of the day.
