Any Hawaiians here? Stay safe you guys, make sure those minis are packed up and wrapped up carefully! Other things of value are optional.

Apparently this weekend the gak is supposed to hit the fan.

All of those storms are heading towards Hawai'i aren't they?

Man.

I don't even have a funny reaction image for that. That's about to suuuuuuuuck.

Good luck any one there.

Surfing is UP!!

Interesting. I thought people would be rushing to stock up.

Lol the general interest is about surfing. That's wild.

Yes, one reply clearly denotes general interest.

Also, sucks to be them. This is why I don't care about seeing half the world, I don't want natural disasters thank you very much.

Valcanos, Hurricanes, Tsunamis, etc etc.... Oh and you are surrounded by water.

Sounds like somewhere I would like to call home....

Hang tight guys, hope all is well.

When do we hear "Obama Doesnt Care about Hawaiian people"? Comments?

Wait, Obama caused the hurricanes? This changes things.

Ye, this way he can claim his Birth Certificate originals where destroyed so no one will go looking

Thanks for the heads up, OP. A coworker's sons just went home to their mom in Hawaii, and we weren't aware of the double whammy headed their way (Hey! Just cause we work at the newspaper doesn't mean we pay attention to the news!)

Not just from that one article, but I belong to other forums where the people from Hawaii have congregated in the thread and are talking mainly about waves and surfing. The culture is super strong there from the sounds of it.

Cowabunga dudes..


I always thought storms on the west coasts where typhoons or something.

You get the best waves before the storm. Sounds like I am the only one who surfed as a kid.

There was always someone in New. Orleans getting killed by trying to windsurf in Lake Pontchartrain during a hurricane.

Ludo would be thrilled that their song about Lake Ponchartrain murdering people has merit.

Good luck, Hawaiians!!

Hurricanes are no joke. Stay safe, fethers.
