Airport goodbyes have their own specific level of melancholy. Sighhh…

🥺

Wet and wild wind 🌊💨

The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Warning for the Districts of Kau and Puna and a High Wind Warning for all areas of Hawaii Island.

#hawaii #hiwx

The way the high wind keeps slamming doors around our house has me convinced the storm is a moody teenager. #Hawaii #Hiwx

She is so easy on the ears. That smooth voice can also belt out a tune like Anne Wilson of Heart. Immensely talented.

Ha! “And this is why we need a discount on our rent..”

AND to our friends in Kohala and West Hawaii!

A rather enthusiastic wind just blew through the house. Power went off temporarily.

And now it’s back.

I wish the technology existed to to “donate” power to @tcgnome.bsky.social and other friends in Puna who always seem catch the worst of it. #Hawaii #hiwx

It’s been a bit of a power roller coaster here as well. At last count I’ve reset the clocks 3 times. Going for 5!

Yikes!!

Oh no kidding?! Ours just disappeared back behind the clouds and the rain has started up again. Teasing us!

The sun is making a rather valiant attempt to break through the clouds in upper Waiakea Uka. One suspects the clouds are not terribly impressed. #Hawaii #Hilo #KonaLow

Thank you!!

A clean slate!

National Weather Service reports that a Flood Watch & High Wind Warning remain in effect for Hawai‘i Island.

A Flash Flood Warning continues for the Kaʻū & Puna districts & a High Surf Advisory is posted for south-facing shores through Sunday.

So yes the atmosphere is quite busy at the moment..

So sorry. It’s just a silly phase I’m going through.

Ha! Yes… 10CC style AHHHHHHH

How did I miss this? So good! And picture #4 🤣😆

Oh interesting! I bet it’s a bit of a mess there.

Good morning, sir

Woke up this morning with “Take It Away” by Paul McCartney playing in my head. No clear explanation but it seems determined to stay until there’s no one else around. 😜 #EarWorm

Good morning. Hilo’s seeing a little rain and the occasional gusty breeze that doesn’t stay long. So far, everything behaving reasonably well though it’s probably a tad early to get too comfortable. Old photo but feels surprisingly relevant under the present circumstances. (July 21st, 2021) #Hawaii

The inevitable flooding in Ka’u..

Hawaii County: Hawaii Police Department advises you to AVOID the east end of Wood Valley Road in Pahala due to flooding across the roadway.

OH, and the answer is an emphatic YES.

I’ve fielded quite a few questions from listeners this morning, but the one that’s clearly taken the lead is this rather pressing matter: Are the rubbish dumps closed today? #Hawaii #HIWX #KonaLow

We got through it! Well, without throwing any tantrums, at least!

Kona is getting wet! The Ali DRive webcam..

Whew! A fairly busy show today though oddly under control. Such confidence at this juncture, of course, rarely ends well. EXCELSIOR!

Stay safe!! You'll be the first to get some of this fine weather we're expecting!

A listener sent this from the Mauna Lani. Usually one would be able to see Maui. Not today. #Hawaii #KonaLow
