Coffee at the fast food joint on Ke’eaumoku Street, gym time in town, laundry chores at the “old folks home” ... all done before 1pm. A small plastic trash bin was purchased at Walmart® on Ke’eaumoku Street to use as a bucket in preparation for the storm. All of the regular buckets were sold out. Crazed people were purchasing anything and everything. The scene was beyond chaotic.
An early dinner was procured at Panda Express® on King Street. Then, a worthless trip was made to Ala Moana Center. Most of the shops including the Apple® Store were closed and shuttered for damage prevention. Yet, there were myriad shoppers everywhere.
All travel was accomplished via the bus or by walking. Scheduling of itineraries was tight because bus service would be ending at 6pm. The weather remained rather mild with light precipitation and moderate trade winds accompanying an overcast sky. From all indications, the hurricane will pass a few miles South of O’ahu sometime on Friday. The hurricane is slowing down and weakening. Rain and strong winds are still expected.
From all indications, nearly all stores will be closed tomorrow. The gym will also be closed. And, there will be no bus service. Sitting around the “old folks home” will not be an option. Allegedly, both Walmart® and 7-Eleven® stores will be open.
Finally, some of the homeless have relocated to parts unknown, but many of them are remaining in their respective areas and waiting to see what fate has in store for them.
