Workers are Unable to Return for a Few Hours
The movement of people and cars in town last week Friday was slow before the large amount of rain and water flooded the sidewalks after two hours of rain.
On the corner of King Street and Kapiʻolani Blvd., a dirty puddle was there, and in similar fashion, a pond on Kapiʻolani Blvd. behind the McKinley school house.
The bus drivers truly worked hard to transport people who were unable to make it from different places, hiding in all sorts of places to escape the drenching of the rain.
In the testimony of the officer from Kahuku, there are two low-lying areas between the sugar plantation store of Kahuku and the wireless house of Marconi, the place where the road is being worked on, but there are many holes at this time, and if the rain continues there, travel will not be possible.
The police of Kāneʻohe are also here tending the road climbing up the cliff; the showers continue until the night, yet there are no misfortunes. There are also no problems to be revealed from all the high places of Wahiawa.
According to Walter Feldwisch, weather forecaster of America, this storm is not over, but the rain and overcast shall continue. The islands’ temperature degrees are below the lowest surrounding the North Pacific.
There will be 2.57 inches of rain this month, and that is truly a lot. The Moaʻe wind shall not blow for a while.
