We're finally getting some of that Kona storm that's been messing up the other islands. It is extremely windy and rainy.

With storms from the Kona direction, we're sometimes spared the worst of it because we are behind Mauna loa. It becomes the opposite of the normal rain shadow effect. So the last couple days when everyone else was getting it, we mostly just had clouds. But starting last night, it really started to go hard here. And it seems like we're right in the middle of it now.

As for where we are, you see the big red/yellow splotch in the center? I'm right around the right tip of that splotch. Here's the full radar: https://radar.weather.gov/station/phwa/standard
