So the other day I'm chilling with the kids "at the pavillion" here on the compound when I'm informed of another impending winter storm here on Kauai. I admit, a storm here on Kauai is nothing compared to what's gone on in the rest of the country, but a storm is a storm and this one was predicted to be pretty large. Lots of rain & wind with gusts up to 60 mph. As a Hurricane Iniki "survivor" hearing 60 mph winds makes you stop in your tracks. Hurricanes are classified hurricanes when gusts reach 75 mph, so we weren't going to be too far off. The storm was scheduled to arrive early this morning.Therefore, we spent yesterday afternoon prepping for these high winds...especially after we found out school was being cancelled here as well as on Oahu, Maui and Molokai. Then Wes got the call that HE didn't have to go to work either. Hmm....starting to look even worse than we thought. Nothing to do but sit and wait for the wind and rain to arrive...
And wait....and wait...and...you guessed it...WAIT.
Its now 3:11 pm and although its been raining on and off, its just been your typical rainy day weather. I suppose I should be thankful that it wasn't as bad as expected, but I can see a whole lot of heat coming down on the governor for this one. Cancelling school, giving all the state workers admin leave for the day. Oooo wee! :/
