A massive storm hit the Hawaiian Islands a few days ago causing chaos across the islands. Trees uprooted, roofs torn off, telephone poles toppled. Power outages, flooded roads, and slamming surf slapped the coastlines. Frightening indeed!
A went out the next day with camera on hand to capture the devastation. Lots took place on the other side of the island but I knew I could find something close by. Sure enough, a massive kiawe tree (mesquite) was uprooted in Kapiolani Park. Quite sad to see such a Herculean tree toppled by Zeus like winds…measuring close to 60 mph on some parts of Hawaii.
UPDATE–December 6: I got noted for APTOPIX. Top photo of the day for AP.
