It’s been a tough week. My husband declined dialysis due a week. I took him today. On the way home he wanted jack-in-the-box tacos. I drove out of my way to get them. The drive thru young man asked me if I was wearing blue contacts. I cracked up laughing —nope me.
UPDATED: The Central Pacific Hurricane Center said that as of about 5 p.m., Two-C had 35 mph maximum sustained winds, centered 815 miles southeast of Hilo, moving west-northwest at 14 mph.

Cleaned out my family room -purged old things to charity and refuse. The dust was so thick. Sneeze fest-but as the air cleared so did my brain. #lettinggo
LALA MISSES DIRECT HIT AS HAWAII FACES A NEW THREAT
Lala never made direct landfall… yet look at what it left behind.
• Nearly 3 feet of rain in the hardest-hit areas
• More than 200,000 customers lost power at the peak
• Homes swept away by raging floodwaters
• Dozens of roads closed or covered in debris
• Hospitals forced onto backup generators
• Winds topped 100 mph at higher elevations
• At least one person dead
And Hawaii isn’t out of this yet.
Lala took a remarkable path nearly parallel to the island chain, pushing impacts from the Big Island toward Maui, Oʻahu and Kauaʻi without the center ever crossing the Big Island.
And the next problem is already taking shape.
Nearly three feet of rain has left parts of Hawaii completely saturated.
Mountainsides are soaked. Water is still draining through rivers and streams. Roads and power infrastructure are damaged. And unstable slopes could remain vulnerable to landslides and debris flows even after the worst weather is gone.
👇 Anyone across the islands, keep us updated on what you’re seeing.

STORM UPDATE | The Tropical Storm Warning for Oahu has been lifted, but dangerous conditions remain across the island. Downed trees, flooding, and strong winds are still a concern as City crews and first responders continue working to clear roads and assess damage.
FIRST LOOK at Pahala, Hawaii after catastrophic flooding from Hurricane LaLa has destroyed bridges and trapped communities from outside resources. Hawaii DOT is working endlessly to clear the roadways the best they can in efforts to reach these communities.
