Teaser Wind

It wasn't supposed to be windy today. It was supposed to be rainy. Settled in for a long day at the computer, I just can't help keeping an eye on the Kanaha sensor and cam anyway. Sure enough, some time around lunch the wind spiked up into the 20s. What's up with that! A look at radar showed lots of showers along Maui's north coast, so I was sure it would hit Kanaha. So, I opted to stay upcountry and work, but keep an eye on it just in case it stayed good.

I'm sure the high readings suckered a few people down and I even got a call from one jonesin' local asking about the conditions. I remained dubious however and sure enough, around 1:30 the wind dropped back down into the low- to mid-teens. Down, but not yet out. Awhile later, a the wind got it's "second wind" and built up to 20ish for a short time before tanking a little after 3:00. Down and out for the count.

If you were down there at the right time, you probably got some. Otherwise, must have been an exercise in frustration. From my perspective, keeping my ass parked in front of the computer today was the right call.
