Radar shows rain IS coming soon to Oahu. TV news forecasters are correct, for a change. Law of averages I guess.
Missed big island again. Oahu be prepared for more sewage spills.
Not a good day for a mountain hike. I do not want to hear about people needing rescued from hiking areas. Flash flood warnings have been issued, stay away.
You hear about this very subject a lot on Maui. I’ve never been able to understand why that is. Maui firefighters sure seem to risk their butts frequently for these morons who insist on going out hiking even when the forecast calls for torrential rains and flash flood warnings. Sadly, a good percentage of these rescues end up being recovery operations.
