my class and teacher was all making fun too because of the supposed storm this past christmas break. I think the day we all got off work it ended up being super sunny and nice in the afternoon.
It'd be nice to have the day off but I hope nothing serious happens.

The latest forecast track has it coming through the channel between Molokai and Oahu as either a weak tropical storm or a tropical depression.
I haven't checked in the last few hours, but I saw rainfall estimates of 10". Sustained 45-50mph winds can wreak havoc on this island. Remember...our power lines are *above* ground (rolls eyes).

One of the things I have to do next time I am home is fix the sloping of my mom's balcony. Right now nt all the water hits the drain so she has to sweep it to the drain...kinda ghey.
May have to rent one of those machines that can grind concrete or at least re-surface it.
I suck with concrete so i might end up just paying someone to do it.

...FELICIA CONTINUES MOVING TOWARD THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS...
A TROPICAL STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR OAHU...THE BIG ISLAND
OF HAWAII...AND FOR ALL OF MAUI COUNTY...WHICH INCLUDES THE ISLANDS
OF MAUI...KAHOOLAWE...LANAI...AND MOLOKAI. A TROPICAL STORM WATCH
MEANS THAT TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE WITHIN THE WATCH
AREA...GENERALLY WITHIN THE NEXT 36 TO 48 HOURS.
INTERESTS IN KAUAI AND NIIHAU SHOULD CONTINUE TO CLOSELY MONITOR
THE FUTURE PROGRESS OF FELICIA.
AT 800 PM HST...0600 UTC...A U.S. AIR FORCE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT
FOUND THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM FELICIA NEAR LATITUDE 21.0
NORTH...LONGITUDE 148.5 WEST...OR ABOUT 435 MILES EAST-NORTHEAST OF
HILO...HAWAII AND ABOUT 605 MILES EAST OF HONOLULU...HAWAII.
FELICIA IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST NEAR 14 MPH...AND THIS MOTION IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. ON THIS TRACK...
THE CENTER OF FELICIA IS EXPECTED TO BE NEAR...OR OVER...THE
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS BY LATE MONDAY OR EARLY TUESDAY.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 50 MPH...WITH HIGHER GUSTS. GRADUAL

EVEN THOUGH FELICIA IS STILL EAST OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS...A
BUILDING SWELL GENERATED BY THE TROPICAL CYCLONE HAS ALREADY
REACHED THE EAST FACING SHORES OF THE BIG ISLAND. THIS LARGE SWELL
WILL BEGIN TO IMPACT THE REMAINING HAWAIIAN ISLANDS TONIGHT AND
TOMORROW.
REGARDLESS OF THE STRENGTH OF FELICIA WHEN IT REACHES THE HAWAIIAN
ISLANDS...HEAVY RAINS ARE STILL EXPECTED TO OCCUR AND FLASH FLOODING
REMAINS A POSSIBILITY.

Awwwww crap, I was supposed to start a new job sometime this week. Hope this storm doesn't effect it. Hopefully by some miracle it dies down and we just get mild wind and rain.

Unfortunately I don't think there's going to be anything mild about the wind or the rain. 
The estimates I've seen are 10+ inches of rain. That plus some thunder and lightning (lol remember Dec 26th last year?). I'd say we're in for a wet and windy day mid-week.
We can use the rain, just not all of it at once!
