Wow-what's going on in Hawaii?
I just read on CNN that Hawaii is pretty much shut down because of high winds.
Would still rather be there than the North East...supposed to be a windchill of -25 tomorrow!

Looks like the wind was really bad yesterday but is not blowing nearly as hard today. Yesterday wind was clocked at 85 on west coast of Oahu and 50 on Kauai. Did some damage to roofs and power poles.

I am picturing Kal and Mrs. Kal, sitting on their lanai, each with a tropical drink in hand, hair blowing straight out from their heads in the "gentle breeze," enjoying the sunset. I'm sure they won't let a little wind spoil one minute of their Hawaiian holiday!

I live in Honolulu and it's not THAT bad. Yes, high winds. Yes, yesterday we had palm fronds all over the streets as they had blown off the trees. But today is a lovely day....at least, from what I can see. I wore a light sweater in case the wind made me cold, but now I'm wishing I wore a tank top!

Reply to Marci 77, I presume you are not from the northeast US, and call it escapism if you like but people probably find discussing/contemplating Hawaii alot more pleasant than 2F degree temps
(and -20F windchills)
.

Wow, it's my real name, I was born in Russia, first I registered as "Faina", lost this when our computers at work changed, couldn't remember my password, or it didn't work, so came back "Again". If they change computers again I'll probably become a "FainaCameBack" or something alike

Marilyn, It was a sunrise, not sunset.
We didn't even lose the umbrellas from our Kahlua Koffees although I did crack open a coconut for the first time when it flew out of a tree and hit me on the noggin.
cc-Yep. I had the Bubba's chili fries with onions but it was a few days after the Big Winds. :-"
