Post T.S. Iselle / Pre Jurricane Julio

Thankfully, TS Iselle is just leaving behind some remnant rain showers and thunderstorms for Kauai this morning.

That shouldn't affect someone who, let's say, has plans for a short staycation today, should it?

Stay tuned...

T.S. Iselle

Downgraded overnight to a Tropical Storm, Iselle seemingly had a bit of a problem once it ran into the land mass known as Hawaii, the Big Isle.

Went in to work at 6:30 this morning to wait on word from another department if they would need our support today or not. 3 hours later I was outta dere! No need, they can carry on themselves.

11:49

Gusts and intermittent rain showers so far this morning.

Hurricane Iselle

2230 HST

Hunkered down watching the late night reports. Just wondering if all the prep was enough. Hearing the gusts getting stronger outside.

Not very happy that there is still a possibility that some departments might be open tomorrow. Bad decision.

2300 HST

NWS downgraded Iselle to a TS and it has slowed its pace to half of what it was. Not good news for the BI.

Wind is picking up here. Hoping that the tie downs are enough.
