[Rockhounds] Blizzard Warning Posted for Hawaii

[Kitty & Bill Heacox]

Yep, there are not only those rocks, but as you drive across the 
saddle road between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa you can see large gray 
areas on the upper slopes of Mauna Kea that are the remains of 
glacial moraines.

The following paragraph is not on rocks, but Hawaii weather:

Oahu got the worst of it yesterday---over 90 schools closed, winds to 
60 MPH, the Pali highway closed, 62 roofs blown off homes, trees and 
power lines down, some places with 2" of rain an hour.  Now its here 
over the Big Island and (as noted)  there's a blizzard warning for 
the summit of Mauna Kea.  We've had a lot of wind and rain at our 
house, but nothing alarming.  The roof on our house has 14 tons of 
Hardy Shakes (made of a blend of materials that includes cement), and 
the beams are bolted together with thick steel plates, so we are 
probably safe.  It's a bit troubling to see the kukui and monkeypod 
trees in our yard with their branches waving wildly;  we hope they 
don't come down.

Aloha, Kitty
