I finally took my kids on a plane for a vacation to Hawaii, just in time for the first hurricane to hit in 25 years or so? We had to watch very carefully to decide if it was safe to do our island hopping, people were leaving in droves as it was free to change flights. We had to carry water with us and all state parks and beaches were closed for about two days. Glad we stuck it out though, we ended on a high note and there was only slightly more rain than usual.
So yeah, freaky weather.
