Iselle had us without power for 6 days and 6 hours.
The Feb 14 wind storm was only 3 days and 3 hours.
It seems that they're getting better at fixing wind damage.
After Iselle, we picked up a generator and sailed through this episode with minor disruptions other than the actual wind damage.
We have been incommunicado, but our life has continued on with plenty of ice and showers.
So, my questions:
1.
By my count, this makes the 4th major wind event since last August:
Iselle, Julio, the winds someone here describes as being caused by a jet stream anomaly, and the Feb 14 affair.
Someone has told us that these wind events are very uncommon, ... usually.
Is that so?
2.
From the link in Frank's post made on the 14th in the "Windy?" thread, and looking at it 3 days later, there seems to be the remnant of what we in Alaska used to call the Pineapple Express, a jet of high winds blowing north from the vicinity of Hawai'i into the underbelly of Southcentral AK bring high winds and heavy rains with it.
What is the official reason given as the cause of Puna's latest wind storm?

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
