Well despite the good weather yesterday, last night carried on the stormy weather from the previous night. As dusk fell constant the lightening flashes lit up the clouds over Haleakala. The light display continued through the night. Quite spectacular, though interestingly there was no thunder. While we received less rain than the night before, the south shores of Maui and the island of Moloka’i were issued with a flood advisory until 7:45am this morning.

Again, all is calm this morning.

Ironically the same sound that woke me up, eventually lulled me back to sleep.

Today has been a funny day. I feel as though I never really got going.

We live on the north east side of Maui, and yesterday went to a birthday party at a park on the south east shore, 34 miles away, an hour’s drive. The difference in climate was stark. We left torrential rain at home, our property is green and lush.

We watched Raymond & Ray last night. A quirky movie about two brothers, played by Ethan Hawke & Ewan McGregor, coming together at the time of their father’s funeral. I enjoyed it even if I struggled with McGregor’s US accent. 🍿
