It's officially hurricane season. After living in Charleston I'm no stranger to tropical storm and hurricane watches. Now that I live in HI there are a couple of differences.
1. They are called typhoons.
2. Once a tropical storm becomes a typhoon it gets a name; however all the names for storms in the Pacific Rim are Asian.
3. If a typhoon (or for that matter a tsunami) were to hit HI, there is no evacuation route cause we're an island. Duh.
4. There are storm shelters, mostly in hospitals and schools. Apparently there aren't enough shelters for everyone. Whelp.
This past week has been full of weather activity. Two typhoons and two tropical storms. Tropical storm Fausto was the best kind of storm. He appeared in the middle of the ocean. He stayed far away from land. But Fausto still had an impact on the island. He brought breezy wind to help cool the temperature down. He increased the surf to create some of the best surf days of the summer. And my favorite, he brought clouds that created beautiful sunsets.
Check out the views I had this past week:
Because they were all beautiful and yet so different I felt compelled to take a picture each night!
And now for the pic of the week:
This is some of the crew at my gym. While taking the picture they said "make a funny face". This is what I get for following directions. Ha!
Mahalo!
