One door closes, another opens

The first winter storm has been lingering around the islands since yesterday and will stay through the rest of the week. Yesterday, the North Shore was hit with 30 foot waves. On Maui, two beaches were hit with nearly 50 foot waves that lifted up lifeguard vehicles and made a mess.

Tonight we are waiting on 60 mph winds that main cause power outages and broken tree limbs. The rest of the week looks like it will continue to be rainy and poor weather.

Tomorrow is Alexis' last day at work and also the day that her two best friends from home arrive. It will be my first time meeting them and I'm excited.
