Look on the bright side: at least hurricanes/tropical storms are still (relatively) rare in Hawaii. The Atlantic hurricane season just started on Friday, and already my particular corner of the mainland has dealt with "sub-tropical storm" Andrea and is currently dealing with the remnants of tropical storm Barry. This far inland we don't have to deal with storm surge or very much wind, but it's always a major rain event and tornado threat when these things blow through.

So, it could always be worse...

It's all good, though. If it weren't for the occasional tropical system, southeastern meterologists would have very boring jobs indeed during our summers.

"Partly cloudy, scattered afternoon thundershowers, highs in the 90s, lows in the 70s..."
