Bright sky, looked across and said to myself, I hope those are regular clouds.

Today first day to absolutely notice the smell.

Light haze every where too.

Come on sea breeze.

Not too bad for Hilo - but Puna has several times forecasted to exceed 5ppm SO2 (top of chart hazardous) - 7.69 at 1am and 13.15(!) at 4am tonight and 5.70 and 6.93 ppm tomorrow night. Let's hope the rain nixes that possibility or that the model is just wrong (in a good way).

Best thing about Hilo these days are the big boxygen stores™

Imagine how nice that map would be with a few towns labeled... Are you reading this U of H?

Sure tasted like 13.15ppm last night! :/

So when do we bring pets indoors or don our respirators?
