		<description><![CDATA[The last storm was Friday almost exactly a week ago, but this time I think everyone was prepared. We had our buckets in the attic under the leaks, all the potted plants were safely inside and the windows shut against the wind and rain. After the storm, with no further rain in the forecast, everybody [...]]]></description>

It used to be on this website, but I had to take it down due to spam.

		<description><![CDATA[Monday&#8217;s storm was really intense, but as the previous week, the normal weather came back fairly quickly. By Tuesday, there was hardly any rain on the coast, Wednesday and Thursday being almost sunny. It did rain more inland, and this created more run-off, but nothing like Monday&#8217;s fury. First, some YouTube videos that are finally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a wet, wet, wet weekend, Monday was not all sunny like last week. In fact, it was quite the opposite. The rain came down by the bucketful today, barely letting up between torrential downpours. In the afternoon, the wind picked up and whipped the rain sideways across the lanai and into any open window [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The strange weather continues: after a week of rain off and on, my wife spotted this small funnel cloud over Wailua on Saturday morning (March 3) around sunrise (7am): She didn&#8217;t even bother to wake me up, so these are all her photos. After about 30 seconds, it seemed to dissipate (hover over the photos [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The sound of the pouring rain woke me up this morning. It was barely light, but instead of lulling me back to sleep, the rain had me worried. This was the kind of rain that overflowed the gutters, saturated the ground, flowed around the house, and sometimes into the garage. I tried to go back [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been interested in paragliding, where you soar on wind currents or thermals under a special parachute wing. I&#8217;ve done two tandem flights in Europe, where it&#8217;s much more popular, and seen a few near San Jose, in California. The exhilirating feeling I got from those flights can best be summed up as &#8220;Man [...]]]></description>

I wanted to write this on Christmas day, but my daughter got an iPad, and I picked it up and started playing with it, and nothing else got done that evening. Last week on the Kapa&#8217;a bypass, there appeared the most incredible sight: a snowman on Kaua&#8217;i! Of [...]]]></description>

The 99% on Kaua&#8217;i held a couple of demonstrations today in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement that is spreading across the country.

But this is just a quick post with two sunrise pictures. The papaya in the back yard is starting to get tall and block our views. But the leaves have a pretty silhouette.
