SNG, your sister got here just in time for a double-barrel blast. These are the times I feel like the islands are bowling pins at the end of ‘hurricane alley’ coming from Mexico across the eastern Pacific. Madeline is due about Thursday, now looking like it will plow through the middle of the state at Maui with tropical storm strength and flooding rain. Several days behind it is hurricane Lester, strong and straight westerly. On this course it will pass close south of the islands. These are the dangerous storms that can hook north suddenly and punch hard, like hurricanes Iwa and Iniki in the 80’s and 90’s.
Manning the NOAA Satellite displays for updates several times a day for the next week. Preps are continuously ready and available. The Volcano I can handle…. Hurricanes worry me as they are more destructive. Been through two bad ones above, and numerous ‘tropical storms’ flood emergencies. Worry mode ‘ON’.
