The storm was a bust. It's windier here when the tradewinds blow. It got much calmer with the storm. Although it did rain for 4 straight days and nights (this is nothing compared to the 40 days and nights of rain that often happen during the rainy season). Our water catchment is full, which means long, guilt-free showers, even possible car washing. Another earthquake woke us up at about 3am Wednesday morning, my new best friend is http://tux.wr.usgs.gov/Quakes/quakes0.html where I can see all of the area earthquakes. Oh, I see there were two last night fairly close. I don't feel them unless they're in the high 3s. The thrills of living on top of a magma system. The earthquake in Peru put us under a tsunami watch, but nothing happened. I feel so close to nature here.
We're headed up the Saddle Road for some sight seeing today, I promise photos later. The Saddle Road goes up to about 9000 feet and runs between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea between Hilo in the East to Kona in the West. It's narrow, bumpy, windy and winding. Dash's friend, Nathan, is coming with us. Nathan broke his wrist riding his bike in front of our house yesterday, falling in the grass. It's not too serious or he wouldn't be coming with us. It hasn't stopped either of them from talking on the phone with eachother or playing Nintendo.
