From what I've been watching on radar, I hope people in Ka'u are doing OK. There are continuous storms moving NNE and getting hung up on the southern slopes of Kilauea. The rainfall there must be unbelievable. As for Puna, Lower Puna is being hit but much of it looks to be shielded by Kilauea, so areas at the extreme east and SE are being hit hard. For the first time I've experienced, H-132 was closed near 4-corners because visibility was zero due to steam - a mixture of heavy rain and the residual heat from the 2018 eruption.
macuu222 - from my understanding of where you live, and it's only a rough idea, yes, I would stay home right now. Stuff to the south-east of you is just nasty and this is going to go on for quite a while.
