Weird Hawaii Weather

Hail and tornadoes

Honolulu Star-Bulletin, March 25, 2006


Horizontally-flying hailstones the size of quarters on the Big Island of Hawaii, tornadoes on the island of Lanai, lots of flooding, landslides, and power outages state-wide. Roads and homes were taken out, and seven lives were lost on Kauai.

Not your typical Hawaii weather.

ohmygosh. My father, a retired meteorologist (among other things) has been tracking our storms and says a worse one is yet to come.
