Do you remember that Elvis movie, Blue Hawaii? Well, this is gray Hawaii, taken last weekend when the state was being battered by what’s known here as a Kona low storm, which brings up strong winds and tropical moisture from the southwest. This view is from the Pololu lookout, and no, I did not get out of the car!

Oh my goodness, is everyone alright?

I haven’t heard of anyone being hurt, but there has been a lot of property damage and quite a few people are still without power.

Have you seen the movie “St Vincent”, with Bill Murray? He has an interesting response when some one uses that phrase regarding his situation.

His character didn’t appreciate that phrase. But things are different in HI, more relaxed.

What a huge contrast. It makes us appreciate the clear days even more.

I know. This is an unusual sequence of systems. Thus far, this second storm hasn’t hit here and will likely be less windy if and when it does.
