DARBY
Our first Hurricane.
This radar image was from yesterday. As you can see, Hilo (Kona) and Kahului (Maui), will get the brunt of the storm. These islands, plus a few mountain ranges, lessen the impact on Honolulu (Oahu).
Darbys' eye. Picture from the Weather Channel.
Minor debris. The hurricane was down-graded to a Tropical Storm.
The storm left much needed moisture. These islands know what to do with water.
Waimea Bay, the day after. Muddy ocean from flash floods.
Also, the day after Darby. Paradise is not lost.
Wet Aloha
From the early radar images, it looked like Kona and Maui would get hammered, but, Honolulu, Oahu, got the most rain which flooded homes and turned the freeway into a pond. We went to the airport the next day, and the freeways were dry.

What a beautiful place, even when things aren't where they're supposed to be.
