Keanuiomano Stream is one of many watercourses on the island that is rainfall dependent. When it rains, it runs. When it’s dry, it doesn’t. The stream starts high on Kohala Mountain, winds down through the western part of Waimea, and reaches the ocean on the northern edge of Mauna Kea Resort. These photos were taken where the stream passes under Highway 19, Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway or Queen K Highway as it is also known.
The top photo was taken as Tropical Storm Darby passed the island. The bottom photo is how the stream usually looks.

That’s like the waterways on my place

It’s amazing how strong this stream can go from nothing to a raging torrent at times.
