So if you're on a Hawaii Island, uh, not much of a...
G
10:30Guy HagiCORRESPONDENT
There's still a chance for some heavy rainfall today, both on the Hilo side and the Kona side, right? The flood watch is on until 6:00 PM tonight.
G
10:37Guy HagiCORRESPONDENT
Much drier after that on the Kona side for the next, the, for the next seven days.
G
10:41Guy HagiCORRESPONDENT
And then for the other side of the island, because of the traders, you'll have the normal trade showers.

EMERGENCY SOS HAWAII

So that's another thing that I did not talk about before that you need to be, you know, conscious of.
S
55:11speaker_0HOST
The fact that if you move to the Big Island and you want to live affordably, more than likely you probably will move to the Hilo side instead of the Kailua Kona or the Kona side because it's more expensive, high-end.
S
55:25speaker_0HOST
But you're living on the Hilo side.
S
55:27speaker_0HOST
You have to understand.
S
56:54speaker_0HOST
And then also you're less likely to get hit by a hurricane.
S
56:58speaker_0HOST
So that's why it's more expensive.
S
56:59speaker_0HOST
That's why they have more development up there in Kona.
S
57:03speaker_0HOST
and less on the hilo side and that's why the land is cheaper and that's why it's cheaper to live there and there's a lot less people just so you know so when you're talking about oh look how cheap it is to live in the hilo area it's just as cheap as florida or cheaper than florida well because florida has gone up a lot in price now especially with insurance but um your homeowners insurance is going to cost a lot more now because we are seeing a lot more hurricanes coming in and a lot more storms and you know a lot more flash flooding just so you know all right we're going to go ahead and get into the last of these emergencies which is the ballistic missile incoming this is probably the most scariest scenario now the only scenario that i can put with this and why it may happen The reason why it may happen is obviously, as you all know, we have a huge problem in the South China Sea.
