no battery so it doesn't work at night but it can be toggled to a generator mode in the day if you disconnect it from the grid

Here in Houston if you want flood insurance it starts 30 days from when you sign up. Calling up the day before a big weather event isn't exactly being the smartest guy in the world.

It really wouldn’t do a lot of good if your flood insurance starts in 30 days, but the flood is tomorrow

I doubt anyone allows a immediate coverage in that type of scenario.

That's the point, to stop people from letting it lapse all year until right before the storm hits.

The waves were big enough I could see them from my apartment 2 miles away, it's going to be exciting if the eyewall actually hits Honolulu. By exciting I mean I'm not gonna have power for sure and they're still gonna make me go to work on Monday

Friend of mine's in Hawaii right now, thought she was going to get to actually fly out tomorrow because the hurricane's going to miss the island, but noooope. Her destination was in California, and it's cancelled due to fire conditions.

Other parts of Maui are getting rain and/or wind, just lucky that Haleakala is blocking a lot of the weather so far. Lifeguards were probably mobilized in some central location and off the beaches so the general public didn't assume the beaches were safe.

Oh, context. Our Red Cross chapter deployed people to Saipan from Ventura County, CA. I'm waiting to see if anyone here gets deployed to Hawaii and wondering if Hawaii will undergo a similar change towards disaster preparedness.

I will analyze your nervous system for beer money
The east-moving wind shear is disrupting the hurricane’s ability to turn west. Analysts are thinking that will cause it to slow down but continue moving in a more northerly direction, then abruptly turn west once the wind shear from the east weakens the eyewoll enough.

Basically now the concern is not high winds or a direct impact on any island, but a poo poo load of rain from a hurricane stalling and hanging out in one place. Possibly like Harvey’s impact on Houston.
