Happy Aloha Friday

Happy Aloha Friday from Salem Oregon. Our 2nd Atmospheric River in 2 weeks is ending. Oregon has many Rivers at Flood Stage, many Power Lines down, many trees down, many slides, etc. The town of Molalla may get cut off if all 3 rivers in the area reach flood stage at the same time. The Road (State Hwy 229) in the Coast Range between Kernville and Siletz is shut down by a hugh slide. They say it may takes months or a year to clear the slide and rebuild the Hwy. Portland Oregon set a record for most rain on December 9 and December 18.
 
Happy Aloha Friday from WDW. Checking out this morning to return to reality. Sigh.
 
Happy Aloha Friday! Plenty of rain this week. It has almost been non-stop since Saturday (on the Windward side and I think most of the island). I feel for visitors who are here for only this week. Had a great rainbow on the bay a couple days ago. As usual, the pics don't do it justice, but here's one.

Happy Aloha Friday from Upstate South Carolina. Rain last night, but blue skies and sunny today. Weather is predicted to be in upper 60s next week. Merry Christmas to all.

It's really something to see how nature can devastate an area with rain and wind. We had both but the sky is clear and blue today. The wind did more damage than the rain in our area. I get to repair a couple of fences and cut up and remove a decent sized tree this weekend. The fun never ends when you are Bill, lol.

Happy Aloha Friday.

It looks like someone is saving my place, lol.

A friend I used to work with lives in Tualatin Oregon and she had a tree fall through her house because the ground was so saturated. Luckily, one of her daughters was away or she would have been seriously injured. Here are the pictures she posted.

Happy Aloha Friday from The First Coast! It’s perfect Christmas weather here, 75 and sunny! It’s actually supposed to be the same Christmas Day, if the forecast is correct. I went out for a walk a couple hours ago and these guys had sought out some shade!

Happy Aloha Friday! We just got home Monday, after 3 weeks on Kauai, so I'm a bit behind on Christmas. Today we got the tree up, did our holiday grocery shopping, and made cookies, so I'm back on track. All gift shopping was done online and on Kauai, so that's done!

And you still have almost a week to relax and enjoy. 🤙🏻

Happy Aloha Friday.

I love Thanksgiving and Christmas but I'm always glad when it's over.

Happy Aloha Friday from the First Coast! I couldn’t have asked for a nicer day in St. Augustine. It’s low to mid 70s, bright sun with a few cotton candy clouds scattered about just to break up the azure blue sky. The first few pics are from our trip to the beach earlier today and the last one is from my patio as DW prepares our late lunch, early dinner meal. I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and that an even better new year is on the way.

Yep, there I am peeking out our lanai door. Lol

Windy and cool this morning and I must have been tired since I slept in late. 😃
 
Slip, must be enjoying a deserving sleep in morning.
Yep, you guessed it right there. I slept until 10am. I was up late listening on the Shortwave Radio. Time just flew by. Lol🤙🏻
