Hurricane Douglas

[slip]

Starting the grill in 20 minutes...It's sunny at the moment.

Perfect, I haven’t even had breakfast yet.

 

[slip]

A warning just went off along with the alarm. Warning to make your final plans to get where you need to be.

 

[NiteMaire]

View from my backdoor at the moment. Won't look like this in a few hours.

Stay safe, folks!

Waiting here ...

A friend of mine on Molokai let me know that Douglas is passing north but they will still get the edges of the cone of the storm.

I was thinking the same thing about the shopping. I was hoping it wouldn’t be that bad with the stocking up for the virus. I was even able to get a parking spot easily.

Good Luck with the Storm all of you Oahu residents. We wish we were there to ride it out with you.

So far I heard Oahu can expect between 4 and 8 inches of rain.

The eye of Hurricane Douglas is being tracked by the Molokai WSR-88D
radar as the tropical cyclone moves west-northwest, north of Maui.
Hurricane Hunters from the Air Force 53rd Weather Reconnaissance
Squadron continue to conduct missions through Douglas and have
observed Douglas experiencing southerly vertical wind shear.

No wind or rain here. Kaua’i will be the only ones hit.

Yes, looks like Kauai is still in the path. They say we can still get some rain. We’ll see. Just cloud here now.

I have a friend on Molokai and things are fine now there. The warning was just called off for Maui county.

This was our sunset. No sign of Douglas, but we saw a double rainbow (only 1 in the pic).

Here’s our view of the rainbow and a short video. Looks like Oahu is out of the cone now but it can still affect Kauai.

It seens like you got nothing at all!! Not even some rain and winds. When we miss the center of a Hurricane on Long Island we still get some pretty heavy rain and wind.

I’m glad to see that Douglas passed north and didn’t cause much damage! I’m always happy when people are able to grumble about making all those preparations for nothing!

We saw DBL rainbow too, at sunset. Actually saw the whole arc of rainbow, but other end was too faint to photograph.

We're a little more inland than slip, on a shoulder between a valley and a "heights". We got 1 sizeable gust of about 25-35 mph, and a short period of heavy rain, and that was it.

Yes, we really only had some rain during the day. No winds at all. The now wind actually made it humid last night.

Glad to here even Kauai is out of the warning now as it past north of them also. Great news all the way around.

Glad the danger is past and you can get back to the business of living in paradise!

Everything is so good, I even had to go into work today. All county and state employees are off today so the traffic was extremely lite.

Then I get into work and the warning went off because Big Island has a 4.8 magnitude earthquake but at least it wasn’t strong enough to trigger a Tsunami.

And, today is an anniversary for me. I moved to Hawaii one year ago today.

 

[Kapolei]

Thank you everyone for your prayers and support. We got missed again! This one still had some punch passing to the North. Fortunately. its coordinates were just a little off. This is typical. Eventually we will be hit. It is just rare to get a direct hit due to the immense size of the Pacific and the location we are at. The Hawaiians that first arrived here, most definitely found a paradise. We are blessed to live here.

Was a very nice day at KoOlina yesterday. Very humid with no trade winds. No rain the whole day and blue skys with light clounds most of the day.

Hawaii got spared another hurricane. Lucky we live Hawaii some will say.
