Kauai County

We, if I zoom in here, you can see what I'm talking about.

Not so much for Kauai County necessarily, although Niihau was getting some showers earlier.

But Oahu has been wet this evening, pretty much across the board.

Windward Side, Leeward Side, pretty good showers falling right there.

You know, you

mentioned you're from Kauai and we were actually, some of the, I guess, DEM mayor's office, parks, a lot of staff from Honolulu County actually got flown over to Kauai County to help after the hurricane.

And when we see these natural disasters, even tropical storms, like we just experienced, does that change the need at all? Does that change your operations at all?

it does so with storms coming through a lot of times you'll see people not come out to donate because it might not be safe for them or whatever reason or a blood drive might get cancelled because you know depending on where it is it might not be safe because they're getting a lot of bad weather so it can affect us like that

Some merchants are relying on online sales to keep their business afloat.

Kauai County cleanup crews are finally reaching the remote communities on the island's north shore.

Our A'alii Duclo reports.

Raging floodwater here in Wainiha River took down these large trees and flooded the first floor of this home, destroying the belongings in that pile.

There is a hurricane [laughs] watch in effect for the island of Hawaii and surrounding waters.

There is a wind advisory for both Kauai County and Oahu as we may see some gusts to 50 miles per hour or greater.

And then there's the high surf advisory for the east-facing shorelines.

That's through much of the weekend.

Uh, nothing big in the way of numbers just yet, but if this moves five miles, 10 miles, 50 miles further north, then we're gonna have some big numbers on the Island of Hawaii.

Not much going on yet for Maui County.

It looks like the windward side of Oahu is getting a little bit wet, and Kauai County not much in the way of returns there either.

So it all depends on how far north this storm comes.

Gusts greater than 45.

Again, it really depends on the distance of Nalo and what that track ultimately is and how close it comes, but we need to be prepared for some big winds and some big rains even, even though it's less likely for Oahu or for Kauai County to get those big numbers.

Uh, the interior sections, Mount Wai'ale'ale, the wettest spot on Earth, looks like it might get three or four inches, which it can handle quite s- easily.

Here's the seven-day forecast.
