Anyone Dry?

 Haleiwa is headed back underwater right now.



My Arc is almost built!

 Fuck this blows.  5pm and Rainy as fuck in Beverly Hills.

LOL! Funny watching the Oahu guys handling the rain. Here in Hilo, it's like 3-4 times a year we get those kind of storms. I wonder how you folks would cope if there were earthquakes and the volcano going off...
In all honesty, I feel for you guys. We kind of get a bit desensitized to it here on the Big Island, butwe've had our share. The worst was back in 2000-2001 when we had something like 38 inches fall in 24 hours. Holy crap, everything was floating! I had to rescue my sister and my nephews as they were trapped on high ground, like an island. Me in my truck going up this frickin' river that used to be a main road and there's this house FLOATING down it! LOL! Good times. Hope you guys fare well.

Shit, my ceiling just caved in. I knew I should have fixed those leaks this summer. Oh well, now I have an excuse to get me a new roof

News:

"The weather service also issued a tornado warning for Kauai for about 45 minutes just before 1 p.m. after a water spout was spotted between Hanapepe and Waimea."

Damn Data!

I hope this stops soon so you can finish your clean ups.

Its POURING here in Manoa.

I'm dumping all my unwanteds in the river behind my house

its usually a thin trickle but during these storms its friggen Hawaiian Water parks down there!

 Not trying to hijaq the thread, but DataLifePlus, I know what you mean bro
