HURRICANE ON THE BIG ISLAND?....

I have received a number of concerned calls about the prospects of a hurricane hitting the Big Island.

First, let me thank each of you who has shown concern for my safety and well being... it is very heart warming.

As it stands now hurricane Jimena is headed straight for the Big Island with sustaining winds of 100+ miles per hour. This could change directions or speeds very quickly so it is really too early to tell what, if any, problems this might generate for those of us who live here. If it does hit, and we go offline, it could be days before we are back online.
