quote:Mr. Tom, you folks over there made the news tonight (the coastline was shown, and WOWZER! Big waves, Sir!) Stay safe, and mahalo for the updates. The wind is picking up substantially now...refreshing, to tell the truth, for those of us with menopause...lol. (Sorry, trying to find the silver lining.)

"The air is quite still, and the intermittent rainfall is minimal so far. The eerie winds are starting, then suddenly stop. Yet there is a calming breeze at the top of the palms trees, that are swaying... The perverbial "calm before the storm" is upon us. It may turn on a dime, or stay the course. Either way, it is comforting to know we are all going through this together...again."
Opihikao - the wind is pretty strong here, I would guess about 20-25 mph, occasional higher gusts. This is Kaloli Point so is quite exposed. It's just started to rain but it's only drizzle.
JMO.
ETA: Gypsy, EricP and Kalakoa, thankfully, we are protected. For eons, our mountains have provided that "safety zone", to some extent.
