We are right at the 20 year anniversary of the 40 days and 40 nights rain event... and now experiencing similarly epic rain and catastrophic flooding
For those that remember that epic stretch of rainy weather we had that started February 20 and ended April 3, 2006, we are now almost exactly 20 years distant from that event as we endure a somewhat similar prolonged weather event. The weather event from 20 years ago caused the Ka Loko dam on Kauai to burst, forced millions of gallons of raw sewage to spill into the Ala Wai canal and Waikiki beach and caused massive flooding across Oahu and Kauai. I just thought it was interesting that we are right at the two decade mark. And for those that are old enough you may remember the 1987 New Years flood, that event was almost 20 prior to the 40 days/40 nights event.
Stay safe everyone
