Thank you for showing and telling the world about the essence of my ancestors...the aloha spirit is strong, alive and well. I'm grateful you and Mat survived and are here to tell the tale! Mahalo, my sistah!!
Damn, that's hard to watch. I've seen a handful of houses get flooded in my community with a lot of damage to public buildings in Ames, Iowa--we're built between a river and a creek. The problem with climate change is whatever used to assuredly safe from floods, is no longer. The 2008 flood in Cedar Rapids, Iowa was horrible and the Cedar River crested 11' above the highest flood level ever. How do you plan for that?
We're trying to create infrastucture to protect us from future floods, but we usually build to protect us from the last flood, not the future flood which is much worse.
A lot of these weather events have become hard to prepare for because things are so unpredictible. Personal preparedness sure. Safety, water, shelter: those are always essential. Still infrastructure protection for ALL the impacts that may come is tough but also necessary.

Rachel, I love you for always running straight into the disaster to help. Thank you, always. I'm grateful you're in our ohana.
I'll always be in your ohana Beth!
For decades past and decades to come!
Your stories about the double Kona Low are harrowing.
Yes Chris and word on the street is that there's another storm on it's way next week. Maybe a Kona Low, maybe not. 🤞🏼
