12-11-8 Flood

Looking towards Kaiaka Park, this is what the beach looked like. Things got worse as you will see in a couple of pictures. Pardon the date on these pictures. The flood took place on Thursday 12-11-08. It started at 02:30am and was flooding by 04:00am. We were up most of the night. Then we saw the devistation as it began floating in.


Off in the distance, we saw there were two Kayaks floating out there.












Here Life Guard Mitch Richardson working at Alii Beach that day spots the Kayaks outside and calls me to see if we can store them here at the Condo until the owners show up to identify them. Turns out the owner of the Kayaks was a family friend of ours. How cool is that?


It's right about 6:00am in this picture. Rubbish from the rivers is just now fronting our condos and starting to come ashore.



Here's what it looked like when the rains started directly in front of the Condos.














Here comes the rubbish. Clear water on the inside just before the storm drops its fury.



And then the rubbish lands on our beautiful beach.



Here's what it looks like when looking towards Alii Beach.



Here's what it looks like now directly in front of the Condo.


Now here's what our shoreline looks like looking towards Kaiaka
