Double Trouble in Paradise

Well I suppose a lot has happened in the past couple of months, but for right now we are apparently experiencing hurricane season. Hurricane Iselle was scheduled to hit us yesterday as a category 3, but by the time it got to The Big Island, it dropped to a Tropical storm and fizzled out before it got to us. It was just windy and rainy last night but nothing to call home about. It was crazy how much people were freaking out over here! Every store (Foodland, Walmart. Costco, Safeway) was out of water and the gas lines were out of control! Probably because there are only two gas stations on the north shore. We decided that we should jump on the band wagon and fill up our tanks so I reluctantly waited in line. I waited for 30 minutes and I was SO close to being at the pump when the power went out on the whole island for no apparent reason. Of course I was stuck for another 30 minutes with my gas light on before there was finally availability for me to bail and go home. I was home for another 20 minutes before the power came back on. All that to say, it was craziness on this little island for a little bit...all for a little wind and rain and a flash flood warning. Now we wait for hurricane Julio, but it looks like he too will steer clear of our island and keep it in perfect paradise shape!
Thanks for the concerns and calls but we are all right over here on Kauai. We will try to keep you updated!
