Labels? What labels?! The ingredients in the Li Hing Mango will probably kill me long before their origin!

More likely they will "preserve" you!!
Ahem, back OT, by late yesterday afternooon the wind was maybe 10 knots more than usual on Sand Island. Steady drizzle overnight in Pearl City. Pretty tame thus far.

Re: Hurricane Season 2007

look at the loop at this link and see

Okay, click on that link again now, folks. TD Cosme looks like its staying well south of the Big Island and appears to be moving due west. Shouldn't have much effect on us at all, and certainly nothing to worry about. Probably.
Unless it switches course and strengthens. An unlikely scenario, but...

Re: Hurricane Season 2007

it was such a hot night last night. Rain is coming/going (not steady) but the system is sucking all the good wind from here. No breeze. At. All. Ugh!

Very nice. Thanks! Any idea who put that site together? It's somewhat similar to Jamie DeMatoff's http://www.highsurfwarning.com/ but without the advertising. Jamie has the live camera connections and a few other things.

Re: Hurricane Season 2007

I'm not wishing for a hurricane strike or anything, but... in the case of Cosme, I wish he/she would've at least given us a good thump. Today was so warm, muggy, still, stale, I was begging for the drenching rain we were supposed to expect this weekend.

Re: Hurricane Season 2007

I guess it didn't reach you out on the Leeward side. We got a good drenching this afternoon in Palolo Valley.

Re: Hurricane Season 2007

It was nice weather for a picnic on Magic Island. The Windward side was sticky, but now after midnight it's starting to rain.

Re: Hurricane Season 2007

Saturday the 20th of July had it pouring really hard in Hilo and parts of Lower Puna, but nothing out of the ordinary for typical East Hawaii weather. Right now at 2:41am Sunday morning it's quiet and clear skies.

Palolo is much like Manoa. It can can totally dump rain in there, while just out the valley it will be clear and sunny. Such must have been the case yesterday. Waikiki, all the way up towards Kahala and Aina Haina's coastal region was sunny, with only scattered clouds throughout the day. It was gusty though.

This Sunday morning in Waikiki there's lots of overcast, but at least it's cool and breezy. Not muggy.

On Friday evening at one point it looked like that "calm before the storm", but it didn't turn out to be that.

Yep! Woke up to wet streets and the brownish cast to the Ala Wai canal that signals rain in the mountains. Manoa Valley looks pretty clear right now altho' there's rain at the top of the Koolaus which I guess means at least some mist in Manoa! About an hour ago I couldn't even see the valley thru the clouds. I'm watching wind patterns dance across the canal's water. It's a nice morning to be in bed with the laptop and a cup of tea!

You know life is good when you can sit in bed on a lazy Sunday morning, chatting on HT with your laptop!

Looks like it's turning out to be a sunny, semi-breezy day. Beach bound.

Do you folks have your emergency preparedness kit stocked up?

• Flashlight - check
• Spare Batteries - check (AA & D)
• Portable AM/FM radio - check
• Candles (and lighter) - check
• Portable Butane Stove - Nope. Gotta' buy one.
• Cooler(s) - Check
• Bottled Water - Nope. Drank all of what we had from before. Gotta' get more.
• Canned Food (and manual can opener) - Check. Ate some of what we bought before. Gotta' get more canned soup.
• Personal Hygiene products and clean clothes - Check
• First Aid Kit - Sort of. We've got Band aids, Neosporin, Rubbing Alcohol and H. Peroxide.
• Tape and Rope (for windows and to tie stuff down) - Check
• Polysheeting and/or Tarps (to cover stuff) - Nope. Gotta' get.

See this HECO Emergency Preparedness handbook (PDF) for more information.
