East Maui storm photos

East Maui storm photos

Starting backwards on Taro Festival weekend photos, I wanted to get some shots of up the storm here this evening. While other islands have been getting pounded the last week, East Maui has been relatively mild, with hardly any rain the last several days, and beautiful weather all day yesterday and today for the Taro Festival. Mahalo Ke Akua. Then this evening around 6 we were sitting under the hale by the lo'i and all of a sudden a bolt of lightning struck right next to us, actually in the lo'i I think, with no discernible delay for the huge crack of thunder that filled the air and rolled around the valley. We could actually feel the pressure of it in the air. Wow! Then several more, also quite close by, as the sky opened up a torrential downpour. It was quite an invigorating experience, and quite the dramatic conclusion to a fine weekend. After the lightning seemed to have moved off a ways and we had gathered our ukana, we scurried off to our cars. Kekula's nephew Hoku and I took these shots on the way home.

Wailua Falls.

Continued... with more photos...

Muddy stream flowing hard.

The muddy runoff into the ocean. (This is a completely undeveloped area.)

Wailua Falls from a distance. (Normally white, of course.)

The spray coming out across the road was intense.

Waterfalls onto the road.

Then the color of the whole sky, earth and ocean became like this sepia tone zone. Dark orangish clouds, brown water running over the road, the ocean turned brown. The sky was seriously one of the most unusual, beautiful hues I've ever seen, and the whole environment was just like think with this deep orange brown color. Wild. Anyway, had a couple sketchy moments with the amount of water flowing over the road on the way home, closer to Hana town, and lightning continuing all the way lighting up the flooded road as it got dark.

The rain has lightened up now and the lightning mostly ceased, but that was a good cleansing!
