Hurricane Double Whammy?

Could we be in for a Hurricane double whammy?

On the Big Island of Hawaii, we are bracing for what happens when  Madeline and Lester move through. 

Right now (8/30/16 5 PM HAT) here in Waimea (Kamuela) the weather is not too bad.

The first hurricane is  not supposed to get here until tomorrow. 

I filled the big water sink in the garage with extra water and put a bunch of refilled plastic bottles of water (but not filled up because ice expands) in the freezer. So, if the power does goes out the food will stay frozen longer.  I think I need to get a storm lantern and check to make sure we have enough batteries.

The orange to pink colors in this hibiscus is mesmerizing. I just had to "rescue" it.

Check out my other blog, 

to find out how I keep busy.

As for the weather, I'll let you know how it churned out after Madeline and Lester move by.
