YO! tell me that not going to happen next week!!! I'm going there next week tell me that won't happen!

 

[hawaiian_msp]

I dont know about next week but another flash flood warning was issued today and last night it was storming and a tree fell onto a whole highway blocking rush hour morning traffic in one direction. i'm not trying to scare you mp5978 but I just hope the weather will cooperate with your vacation good luck -mike

 

[Mp5978]

Damn, i hope so too. hhmm the place i'm staying is around Sunset beach. I think its about an hour drive from the airport. I really hope none of that is happening there.....

Sunset Beach! Thats on the North Shore side of the island! Just prey the place your staying is not "ON" the beach and that there isn't another storm or the ocean will end up "inside" your house. The North Shore takes a pretty good beating when we have storms and such....if you read the warning above of 20+ feet waves down on the North Shore you should worry....

But eh, we'll all make sure it goes away by the time you get here! no worries man! Just bring us some parts and you'll be ok.... Oh and Krispy Kreme doughnuts because we don't got one here yet..haha

 

[Mp5978]
