The deluge did finally start here at 5 pm today, and rained real hard and solid till 11pm. Some areas got 3-4 inches of rain per hour! Hate to see what bayfront area of Hilo looks like. I'm guessing lots of stores there got flooded. Many of the roads are closed due to landslides. Gonna take a while to clean this up and reopen all the roads.
Soon it will be Maui, Molokai, and Oahu's turn. Hopefully like us they don't get any winds, and just get the heavy rains. The storm is only moving 3 miles per hour now, so it's almost like it's standing still and doing a lot of rain dumping.
