up until now, i remember 2 big hurricanes in my life growing up here in hawaii. one was Hurricane Iwa, and the other was Hurricane Iniki. both devastated parts of hawaii. and both brought good waves as i surfed both. i remember my mom calling me stupid for surfing Hurricane Iwa when i was just out of high school. but little does she know, i’ve been chasing hurricanes/typhoons ever since. but the older i get, the more i think how stupid i really was. and stupid me will probably surf these 2 hurricanes heading for hawaii. i kind of know where will be good on the big day.
this is big news as everybody here is panicking. i heard last night on the news that some places are SOLD OUT of water already. really? today, i’m sure you won’t find a drop of bottled water on the island, batteries too, and gas stations will have long lines. it’s part of the panic culture we have here as these events are huge. thursday night and friday will be the heaviest for oahu. wind, rain, and brown water. i just can’t wait till this is all over with.
and right behind is another hurricane that will take the exact same path. that one forecasted to hit on monday.
the only thing i’m worried about right now is Mayuki. i wish i can bring her home and put her in my garage. but she’s too big! maybe i’ll just sleep down there on thursday night. anyway, be safe and stay indoors! i’m sure all schools and a lot of businesses will be closed on friday. get out the candles and spend some quality time with each other. somethings are just meant to be. mother nature sets the rules.
