Record Breaking Rains
Posted: Sat Mar 25, 2006 1:54 pm
Saturday, March 25......... Well it's a good thing we're not fishing this week. As you have probably seen on the news, there is a huge low pressure area NW of Hawaii that has stalled for the last 6 weeks. Very unusual. Anyway, it's rained for well over a month. All rainfall records have been broken, times 2 or 3, and the month isn't even over yet. The most rain in March since they have been keeping records.
Lake Wilson is at flood stage and the water is one big mud puddle.... the color of coffee with cream. Yesterdays flooding (Hawaii has been under flood warnings every day for a month) caused a sewage spill, and they closed the lake. No big deal, because the fishing is impossible in the muddy water anyway. We've canceled most of the trips for a month. and the fishermen like me.... hard corps.......<grin> who insisted on going any way were rewarded with a wet boat ride, and not much else.
If the rain will ever stop, (we are under flood warnings till the end of March) it should take about 2 weeks to get back to normal.
Aloha,
Stan
