Rainy days continue

Rainy days continue here (see arrow at right): this morning it's really pouring, one band of rain after another. It's rare that so much of the island is getting hit at once. It's been quite windy for a few days and expected to continue. Usually rainfall is just on the side of the island that gets it first, but the high winds are pushing the moisture over the mountains before it is spent. According to the radar images, all this precipitation is hitting Kauai square on - even Ni'ihau is getting some rainfall - with Oahu and the other islands untouched.

As in the Pacific Northwest, we need the rain in order to have all this luscious green everywhere.Looks like a good morning to stay inside. The cottage is screened but quite dry if chilly.
