So if you're on a Hawaii Island, uh, not much of a...

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.
Guy HagiCORRESPONDENT

Much drier after that on the Kona side for the next, the, for the next seven days.

So that's another thing that I did not talk about before that you need to be, you know, conscious of.

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.

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.
