Hurricane Lane to Cause Severe Pain?

Recommended Posts

Hope not, but it looks like Hawaii might at least get brushed with this now-cat-five monster.

How do you say, praying for your safety in Hawaiian?

"Lane is forecast to move dangerously close to the main Hawaiian Islands as a hurricane Thursday through Saturday, potentially bringing damaging winds and life-threatening flash flooding from heavy rainfall," the Central Pacific Hurricane Center said, in its latest update.

No doubt it is a powerful storm.  Hope all of you on the islands are safe!

I am very concerned for so many who live full or part time in Hawaii! 

Please know we on PT are all thinking of you and hope you will take no chances with your safety.

I expect your infrastructure is in better shape than ours was, so perhaps any utility interruptions will be minimal.

Before Maria hit here, I did not think that without electricity and internet, cash is the only option. Don’t forget to have lots extra on hand just in case.

Please post when you can.

We are at 19" of rain here in Hilo since about 10am yesterday. So averaging almost exactly 1" per hour and it's just non stop!  Very little wind for us thankfully.  Praying for the same for the other island and the Kona side.

As much rain here as near Jason's, and maybe more. Wednesday was the worst. There are many more lulls now, which helps to give me longer periods of satellite-supplied TV and internet access. No flooding even possible on my hillside lot, but lots of closures on oceanfront highways, landslides on the Saddle Road. Virtually no wind here, but it might be worse on the Kona side. The storm is almost stationary near its closest approach to the BI. I'm ready for it to go!!

Over 30" rain here in Hakalau last 48 hours, a new record for our place.  Crazy amount of rain!  Not much wind, fortunately.  I just planted a new durian orchard;  durian likes wet, but this is ridiculous.

I am praying too! Stay safe everyone, I am hoping it does not get any closer.

Just posted a comment in the Leilani thread about the unbelievable rainfall. Just passed 41” (1,041mm) and it's still pouring. Wouldn't surprise me if we get 50” when all is said and done. Enough already.

Hawaii has been copping it lately. First a volcano now a hurricane. I hope it just rains for you guys but doesn't blow much down. I know the palms will love the drink and do well, but the wind not so much.

I found a Times article about last year's hurricane Maria concerning PR that claims: 

"In just over 24 hours, the storm dumped more than two feet of rain on parts of the island, triggering massive flooding in the central and northern areas. That region’s uneven terrain also contributed to flooding, channeling water into streams and rivers that crested far above flood stage."

It is difficult to imagine so much more water than we had, but at least it sounds like the wind on the Big Island is not as big an issue?

Please let us know everyone after you have a chance to exhale and better assess any damage.

We're at about 45" now. Not much rain today so I was able to get out in the yard. Amazing to see no damage after that much water fell from the sky and poured through our yard from neighbors properties that drain through ours!  I raked up some cinder and some mulch that had overflown out of their planters and that's all I needed to do. It's amazing how quickly this place drains!  I feel for the people that live close to the rivers here. The force of the water right now is terrifying!

Hurricanes in Hawaii are almost unheard of especially in the dry season Summer.

This is friggen ridiculous. Why does everyone  blame it on global warming and no one starts pointing fingers at our secretive governments who are screwing with our climate worldwide? 

Haarp in Alaska, Barium Aluminum spraying of our atmosphere. 

And im suspecting fukushima reactor still spewing radiation heat and radiation in the Pacific ocean could have something to do with it. Not sure just speculating there.

Dean, how did your place handle the extra water?

What about everybody on PT who has property in HI?

Time to assess the damage yet?

I'd love to hear from every one of you now that Lane has left. Thanks!

When it was all said and done, Lane dropped 51" of rain on our yard!  We are at 600 feet elevation, 2.5 miles upslope of downtown Hilo.  No garden damage thankfully and all the plants seem very happy.  We just had 3 days of beautiful sunshine so that was amazing to see after so much rain.
