Day 10/January 13, 2011



Here's the radar! Kihei is right where the "i" in Kahului is!



Aaaaaaaand the storm is continuing! Here's a picture of the radar (hopefully it worked). Pretty epic, yea? Kihei is right where the "i" in Kahului is. The power has gone out so many times this morning...mostly before 6 am. Anyway, so the morning groups probably aren't going to go out and if they don't go out, the likelihood of the afternoon group (us) isn't too good either. Looks like we'll have another 2-class day! And today is a food run, but I don't have much to pick up. Just a box of cheerios and yogurt. I'm probably going to start my personal essay, too! The essay is supposed to be our assessment on the state of the oceans and we're supposed to come up with a unique "something" we can do to help improve the state of the oceans. If anybody has any ideas, I'd love to hear them! Anyway, yea! So, that's pretty much it! It'll be another low-key day. Sad, really. I miss the whales :(

There is lots of flooding, too. The picture here is just a taste...the entire road in front of Menehune is flooded. Flash flood warnings are in full swing! This is just a picture of the beach area.

Flooding! Oh my goodness!

Update: with all the rain and stuff, Marsha has said she doesn't think the Road to Hana is a good idea. I wasn't going to go anyway--I'm probably going to go snorkeling and ziplining! Or, if that doesn't work, I'll probably end up chilling on the beach and reading my book :) <--major happy face. I love the ocean.

Love! And, I'll try to update again soon. It's tough because the internet is so finicky...we can only access it on the lanai, and even then it's tempermental. Oh, and my parents shipped my camera and the post office dropped one of those "re-deliver" sheets off, but I think I'm deducing from the fact they haven't come back to drop anything off that I've got to bring the sheet "requesting" a re-deliver TO the post office. So, I'll do that at some point.
