WA coast expecting light rain today and tomorrow. It feels like wet air right now with poor air quality. Poor Hawaii sure has had it's share of natural disasters.

ETA: No rain here and not in near future afterall. Just some morning wet air from marine layer.

I live on Oahu, HI. Everything is crazy here today. All the water , Bread etc....is gone in the supermarkets. No parking at our local Safeway supermarket. Lines just driving up to our supermarket are very long. Well, lets see what will happen. It never gets boring living in Hawaii . But then again, when I lived in Colorado once for a short time, we always had the Tornados. I guess , were ever we live there is something.

Aloha from Hawaii.

Be safe everyone. I saw the report with empty shelves in grocery stores. Hopefully everyone was able to get something.

@SurferWife Are you OK?

@Drythe...thanks for asking! So far all is calm on O’ahu. We won’t start to get impacted until tomorrow night. We are prepared, though and are leaving everything up to the grace of God. I’ll keep y’all posted. If you don’t hear from me it’s probably because we lost electricity.i. I need to wash my hair tomorrow morning so it will be clean for Lane! HA!

@SurferWife

Thanks for responding, I would have been so worried. I know you will make sure Mr Toby is all clean for your visitor too!

Being in,move, or, tie down anything that can be blown around in your yard, fill your bathtub with water, get out the flashlights and batteries, battery radio, charge cells, get your meds, DH’s & Toby’s packed, have a good photo of Toby, pack passports, licenses, insurance info, titles, etc, pack blankets and pillows in case you have to evacuate.

***. I know you know this, just a habit from living in the middle of the Eastern Hurricane Corridor. NC sits so far out in the Atlantic that we get hit almost every time.

Everyone hold hands, be Safe, see you at the Play Ground.

@Drythe...being from Houston, I’m no stranger to hurricane preparedness. Also, my husband lived many, many years in the US Virgin Islands prior to our move here, and has been through more Cat 5’s than anyone would want to experience. When it comes to being prepared, he is King.

@traveler. I assume you mean you live in Alaska? What city? I love Alaska; I could easily live there as I have an affinity for mountains.

@riley1...all is still calm on O'ahu right now (8:25am HST). We have rain but no strong winds and storms. It will get worse tonight, but we are prepared. It is weakening so that is great news.

Be safe. I’m from Houston too and lived there during Carla in ‘61. Being a kid, I thought it was fun staying home from school and watching boats going down the streets. You could go out to the beach where Mike Bettis is broadcasting and give all of us a shout out.

The storm reports remind me of a fellow poster who lives on the islands, @MrsSweetieBear, who hasn’t posted since about a year ago. I really do miss her. Prayers for all in the path of the storm. May you be safe and secure.

❤️

@OKPrincess...LOL! Actually, we live on the North Shore of O’ahu, the complete opposite side from where he is reporting. When they start talking about the North Shore, you can think of us!

@SurferWife thanks for keeping us updated on your safety.. Hoping it keeps weakening...

Re: Hurricane Lane

SurferWife — Fri, 24 Aug 2018 01:33:15 GMT

Thanks @quadmimi! They generally do weaken as they enter our cooler waters. It’s not expected to make landfall but we will get lots of rain and wind. Our little Toby will be scared, but we will protect him. If you don’t see me post tomorrow it will be because we lost electricity and/or cellular service.

DH’s daughter (retired Navy) lived in Kauila - hope I spelled it right. They transferred to North Dakota after that. Anyway take care.
