I've actually seen pics of O'ahu from space on December 31st.
Honolulu side actually has enough fire crackers going off to have a haze cloud visible from space.

Hau'oli Makahiki Hau!
Tonight's plan involves more red firecrackers than people from the mainland can possible imagine.

The waves up at Waimea Bay could range anywhere from 20 to 50 feet the next few days.
This is big stuff -- the best surfers from all over the world are gathering for this. They never know exactly when they can but they just drop everything and get here.
