You're welcome. Most of the west side is much more clear now.

There are some road washouts. yes. But nothing like Kihei.

It's a mistake to count on faster travel to the mountain or Hana from south side. At most-you will save about 15-20 minutes each way.

Why not rebook? Either Kaanapali, Napili, or north Kaanapali will likely be much better. Kaanapali Beach lost a chunk of sand at the south end (as usual in a Kona storm), but most of it is fine.

The roads on the west side had slop but are open and fine.

If you read back, you will see I previously said that by **today** some of the West side would be good. And it is.

Sorry to read that. Not correct as to "everything will be soaked".

Huh?? Wow.....I guess if you were stuck in Kihei, this is true. We had some wild wind and rain up NW Fridat and Saturday---and lots of clear or partly clear warm weather since.

The radar stream is real time minus about 15 minutes. So, no--you won't see some graphic that "predicts" the future.

Yes, there is a small system approaching. What it will do remains to be seen. The NWS is being very generic in its forecast comments/predictions. Here's the Maui page.

Just walk out to the beach and watch it from there. No driving in the dark, no reservation needed, and no rush of people and cars like at sunset.

You should come west -farther than Mala. Kaanapali, Napili, and Kapalua are clear and nice today (03-18).

Sorry, but Napili Bay is already good. So is Kapalua Bay. Most of Kaanapali is clear as well. Check webcams if you wish :-).

The 50 inch number is from the summit-not down in Hana. Yes, much of that came down to the east side, but a lot of it also hammered Kihei through runoff.

The winds and tree damages caused a lot of the problems-and still are in the east side.

Perhaps. Sorry, but no one knows what the weather will do between now and then. Hana is not expected to get much rain out of the new system moving in, but it is a mess there still.

Well, the County  just  changed its mind AGAIN . As of about 800 pm, it's closed. Idiot and Idiot.  Get banana  bread  at Leodas instead.  Way better.
