It was raining...

...a lot. Would have been nice to think of it as "melted snow," until the power outage on the 26th, lasting 10 hours for some, still out for others. Allegedly caused by a lightning strike at one of the power plants, but that is conjecture at this time. The circuits breakers popped like they are supposed to, protecting the system from further potential damage, saving us customers time and money.

All kinds of "suggestions" from people. I would hazard to guess that, when the price tag is presented for possible solutions (and it will cost), the answer will be "ne'mind." ("never mind", as in "that's okay").

I think that, for the most part, the residents of this island (O'ahu, Hawaii) handled the situation pretty well. There will always be the "10%"; idiots will always be idiots.

At least it doesn't snow here...
