Wet Waikiki
Click above to play the embedded video, or see below for more options.
 
Much to the dismay of Spring Break vacationers, Hawaii has been plagued by uncharacteristically bad weather for the last two weeks. Thunderstorms, heavy rains, floods, landslides, even tornados and hail. The tourist mecca of Waikiki has not escaped the gray skies, where you're now as likely to see umbrellas and ponchos as bikinis and surfboards. Music is "Puddlehopping" from Fall Submissions by AntiGuru (Magnatune).

Glad to see you were in the midst of rainy Waikiki rather than dodging the tornado on Lana`i and the hail on the Big Island! Stay safe! Dry isn't an option right now!

Great video. I loved the soundtrack...especially the sound of birds. I enjoyed cruising down Ala Wai and Kalakaua. Ending with the raindrops on Duke's face was poetic. Like tutusue said...stay safe. Hope it ends soon.
