As we prepare for Lane, I’m taking a bit of time out to do a few of these in case we lose power and I’m unable to generate more.
Because of the time constraint, almost no words.
And now, the photo:

Some of these posts will likely be longer as the mood hits me, but most will be thus; short, uninteresting, bland, and relentless.

Hope Lane decides to take a break, leaving the islands calm and sunny.

Unfortunately, not much chance of that . . . but there is hope for less than was feared. We’ll see.
Thanks for the good thought.

Always . . . got my machete ready in case we have to make out way through fallen trees and downed power wires.
So far, it’s hitting the other side of the island. We’ll see later on as to what Lane might bring.

So far I see no such orange-meant in your spiralling square.
Hope you avoid getting into the fast Lane!

I was just checking some news sites on Lane and read a comment by a woman in Honolulu getting ready by buying food, water, and . . . SPAM . . . (very popular in Hawaii, the writer added!). Mom and I are confident that you and Melisa prepared very well for this event. But just the same, we’re hoping the best for you two.

Well, we don’t have as much Spam as we would like but other than that, we’re prepared.
The East side of the Island has suffered heavy rains and some wind but so far we’ve not had any impact (they say it will come). We just went out to look at the waves and they’re similar to other instances and not yet at a level they would cause damage.
You can check one of the webcam at the Fishhopper here (it’s a still – under it, there’s a refresh button you can periodically click – if you’re lucky, you’ll catch a wave splashing over the wall):

I especially like seeing people in convertibles getting the brunt of waves splashing over the wall.
This is a list of other webcams on the Big Island but a lot appear to be down.

More cams:
Waikoloa (controllable):

A few miles from us (there’s an ad you can skip after a few seconds) but it’s a sheltered bay so no big waves:

Lava Java is also looking into Kailua Kona bay looking directly west (1.25 miles from us). The waves are coming from the South so you can’t see much wave action yet:

Thanks for the links. I clicked on most of them expecting to see hurricane weather and was pleasantly surprised to see none . . . yet.

None yet. They had forecast we would get hit worst than Hilo but it’s been a surprise that Hilo got hit first. We may have been shielded by Mauna Loa but might yet get hit as they are saying high winds and rain later today.

Looked at the webcam on the roof (https://www.konaweb.com/#WEBCAM), and it seems fairly calm considering the approaching storm. Looks can be deceptive, however …as we learned from Super Storm Sandy! (Some areas here were without power for 10 days.) I’m sure you’ve got the flashlights ready! Good luck to the two of you! M 🙂

We are as ready as we can be. It’s still not clear how bad it will be because the storm is slowing down but its current movement will bring rain bands our way.

We should have more Spam on hand but we’re being kind of lax about it. We only have four cans. We’ll probably pick up a case after the storm passes since we’re still going to be in hurricane season for another month or two.
Thanks, Carolyn and we are safe. They just downgraded the storm from KYAG(*) to MGYSW(**) so we’re not as worried. Not that we were all that worried.
Although, it was a little misleading because we didn’t go to the gym today and it turned out to be a calm if overcast day. The rain is supposed to hit tomorrow so we might miss another day at the gym. I’ll probably gain 3-4 pounds but that’s just life.

HA! I love the abbreviation meanings!
We had a hard rain storm today…high winds (which are unusual) and rain and hail. Lots of flooding and etc. More rain predicted for Friday and then the weekend is to be sunny.
Take care!
