Nada

And it turned out to be a quiet night. It barely rained in Honolulu, although the media kept warning us of the Impending Catastrophe and the Trail of Devastation on Kaua`i.

Which ... ok. People died. The dam break was a tragedy. We're still looking into whether it was part of a natural process, or anthrogenic. But: it did not cut a Swath of Destruction Through the Heart of the North Shore. It's as if Chicken Little were writing the evening copy.

So - no rain yet, and another day of grey skies.

Chicken Little just got the place wrong. You were meant to be in North Queensland, MC.

You just had to do it bigger, better, and with more drama, didn't you all? Our state is still traumatized over one reservoir break in a remote area. Hopefully they read the papers this morning and put things in a bit more perspective.
