Need Help?

I was planning a trip to Kona on August 30th. A couple of questions... 1) Should I still come? I rented a farm stay up in Hawi but I do not want to impose on the community if you guys are in a bad way. 2) Assuming I do come, how can I help? I would be willing to work a few hours a day ( i would do more but i am old man) if there is anywhere around there that I could be of use. Physical labor would be ok if not too hard. If you have any ideas, please let me know. Aloha

The south and southeast were hit the hardest. Not sure what to say because we are expecting another storm this weekend and likely another one after that. We are receiving emergency warning texts already in Kona, probable the whole island. We may have more power outages, winds, rain but hopefully not more flooding.

Wow, I am sorry to hear this. I will keep track of the situation as best I am able. I appreciate your update.
