You don't do well in social situations, do you, TomK?
It is hard when one is so much more intelligent than everyone else. You have to give him credit for at least trying to talk with the rest of us.
I find all weather reports, predictions, warning, to have to be taken in context, not blanket will be the same for everyone in all situations.
It's like the way hurricanes have effected us. It all depends on location, and what obstacles are between one place and the source of the wind. What happens in Kona is always so different than Hilo, Puna verse Hamakua.
The storm that just passed was no different. Hawaii News Now reports winds up to 191 mph on the Mauna's summit. And it seems that most places in the southeast of the island faired pretty good. Whereas up on the Hamakua side there was a whole stretch between Honokaa and Paauilo, along highway 19, where the power polls were all snapped and the power was out in Paauilo to Waipio Valley for more than 30 hours as they had to reconstruct the main transmission line in that area.
So, was the weather service wrong in their warnings? Maybe for one, but not the other. So what should they do in the future? Split hairs? Take bets?
