Well, we’re still waiting. The storm as been delayed, or perhaps it has fizzled before reaching us. That’s what we thought when we got up this morning to find a light drizzle, a bit of wind now much out of the ordinary, and no sign of the tropical storm that had been impending when we went to bed last night.
Not that I’m complaining. But we do want to now what’s going on.
So I went online.
First, the local weather radar. It shows a band of rain ready to move across Oahu with a few yellow-orange hot spots. But, again, not out of the ordinary.
I think that if you click on the image, you will see an updated version.
But then I checked a different satellite view of the islands. It’s just about the same perspective, but in this view the storm looks much more serious, doesn’t it?
I’m not sure which reality to plan our day around.
So far, we’re being conservative. It’s Sunday, after all, and we don’t have a busy schedule (although we are having friends over for dinner tonight, if they can make it).

Waiting. That does sound familiar. Here in Hilo, we spent all day Friday scrambling about trying to secure our property against the impending deluge and went to bed that night understanding that the projected epicenter of the storm was about one mile makai of us. We waited all Friday night and all day Saturday for something to happen. We got 3″ of rain, and that was about all that happened.
I suggest that you try KITV’s weather mobile ap. It seems to be pretty good. Let us all know what you think.
