hurricane update - not much going on yet in most areas

[msongs]

overnight in a small geographical area near Hilo 10 -20 inches of rain fell. most places tho just scattered light to moderate rain if any. typical trade winds. waikiki surf is typical of up to 5 - 6 feet in some areas but on the rise.

weather service clinging to its forecast of a near pass to some islands but a direct hit unlikely.
serious storm action coming later this evening and overnight into tomorrow.

no way to post pics on DU so just text. btw going for my usual half mile ocean swim in a bit. conditions are not bad at all for that.

1. Not much rain on Oahu yet but this has been extremely disruptive so far.

Relationships and aloha standing strong but ho-ly mo-ly, everybody bought everything. I’m glad to see our community looking out for the homeless folks.

It’s a good test run.

I worry, with warmer waters, how our regular pattern of storms moving away when they hit the cooler waters near us may change. Praying not.

Good luck to you and your ohana msongs.
