The above headline appeared in the local newspaper, The Garden Island, yesterday after Monday's surprise storm. Heavy rain and strong winds pelted the island felling trees and creating flash food warnings near rivers. The Hanalei Bridge was closed at 4 pm and into the night until raging waters receded.
The rains are normal for this time of year, said one local. The high winds are not so normal and came from out of nowhere, he added. The strong winds were not predicted by weather forecasters.

On Tuesday on the north side workers were repairing holes in roofs and cutting up fallen trees that had crashed to the ground many creating hazards on local roads.
Barbara and I have been on the island for nearly two weeks. We are staying in a private home owned by people we met during an earlier visit. They are traveling in California and have given us a sweet deal to house sit here in Princeville. Lucky us. We are grateful, and love visiting our daughter and granddaughter who live here on the island.
