Hail, Stranded Dogs and Gushing Waters
By Sophie Cocke and Nanea Kalani 03/06/2012
You might want to break out your trash can lids. Hail has already been reported in Aina Haina, and Honolulu’s Department of Emergency Management has put out an alert that the pellets of ice and liquid could impact other areas of southeast Oahu.
It’s not exactly the image that the average tourist has when they envision lounging on Oahu’s white sand beaches.
Hail is rare on Oahu, but falls elsewhere in Hawaii five to eight times a year, according to the Western Regional Climate Center. Sometimes it can get as big as marbles.
Meanwhile, the heavy rains are causing flooding throughout Kauai and Oahu, which continues to be under a flash flood warning.
