I think this has been the wettest year for Hawaii at least in the last 30 years. I've lived on Maui for 11 years and in Hawaii for 27 Everyone I ask says the same thing - wettest year we can remember - sure makes it green though. Of course it's also the last time I can recall where there has not been a drought either lol. Plus our rain is nice and warm here. I enjoy watching people on rainy days in Lahaina, the local people are all smiles - tourists walking around with heads hung low - really funny actually the differences.
