Hurricane Felicia

I show my cover photo as a calm sea. But raging east of the Islands is a hurricane that was a stage 2 just 2 days ago, but is dissipating to a Tropical Depression at this point.  Nevertheless, we will have some kind of effect as it swings by in 20-30 hours from now.  We noticed this morning that the park across the street here, Kakela or Kokololio as it is now named, is empty.  I suppose the people decided to stay home, just in case the hurricane hit sooner.  Smart move.  The stores were selling out as people were preparing for the worst.  Jace, our son filled all the car tanks with gas, and the extra gas tanks too.  Even if the cars don't go anywhere, he would have gas for the generator.  We felt the effects of no power for 15 hours last January.  Jace saved the day with his generator.  Our fridges and all other appliances functioned like normal.  We cooked for neighbors too.  The generator noise is annoying, but we had to count our blessings.
