Well, the predictive wizards at NWS got it right, but it was a nail biter right to the end. Honolulu and Maui did indeed escape the bullet. I cannot say the same for my big island of East Hawaii. It’s weird because we were the area farthest from the storm. But it keeps sucking up moisture from the southeast and hitting our mountains.
I had 15 inches of rain again in the past 24 hours. East Hawaii had more rain than the rest of the islands combined, and IT IS STILL RAINING with Flood Warnings posted in my area still…. Warnings, not ‘watch’! Hilo area has exceeded 40 inches. Low areas near the river are still deeply ponded.
Where the heck is Noah? We need him.
