Two Hurricanes headed my way - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Happy to hear the pups are enjoying having all of their outdoor things indoors. Glad you are very well prepared.

Our hurricanes and tropical storms all hit at night here too. I agree with you, not being able to see makes it worse.

Praying for your safety.

Sandy, I have never been to Hawaii or the other islands. Looked Maui up on the map. Are you in the north, south, east or west. Close to the beach or inland. Just wondered. Maui is paradise and I hope there will be no damage, it is so beautiful. Maybe just some wind and rain. Hope it passes over you. Many prayers coming to cover you tonight!

Sending prayers for you and your state!!

MauiGirl · 08-07-2014, 08:19 PM

It is 6:15 pm now, still about 3 hrs until it is expected to hit here. We have light rain now, and a little wind.

The pups are still confused with collars on and no walk, and pool/patio stuff in the house and no party. They are sleeping. Wish I could go to sleep and wake up to normal-ness.

BTW I am in Kahana, Maui which is the west side just north of Lahaina, and I am ocean front, but property is about 10' above ocean.

The rain and flooding will be the worst part, I think the wind will die down a bit. The second storm right behind it is also a big threat.

Fingers crossed.

Still winning, I mean PRAYING, for you guys! Satellite image looks like it's just hitting the Big Island.

I just checked and landfall is imminent, hope you are safe and out of harms way...

Yorkiemom1 · 08-07-2014, 10:24 PM

It is 1am here in Houston, that is around 8pm Thursday for you.....hoping all is good with you.....no horror stories, no terror, maybe a brisk wind is all you are dealing with, a little downpour.....you have people here sitting up with you!!!

MauiGirl · 08-07-2014, 10:32 PM

According to live reports on tv, it hasn't quite made landfall on Big Island, but it's windy and a little rainy there. It will likely be another 2 hours until it hits Maui.

Doggies are sleeping soundly; wish I could too. It is breezy here and sprinkling, but I haven't even closed all the windows yet because it will be too hot.

Yorkiemom1 · 08-07-2014, 11:17 PM

On the weather channel, they are saying some downed trees and power lines....talking about damage to the Kona coffee fields/crops....hating that! Surf looks inviting, beautiful sets.....memories of my teenage years and my Endless Summer adventure with my crazy cousin! Will continue to watch and wait with you!

Thinking about you Sandy and pups. Hope everyone continues to stay safe.

MauiGirl · 08-08-2014, 01:33 AM

It is after 11:30pm and it still has not hit. I'm going back to sleep and am sure I will be awakened when it is here. So far it has been quiet and normal.

lisaly · 08-08-2014, 03:41 AM

I will keep checking on you and praying you and your girls are safe. I hope you can get a little rest. You have so many people here who care so much about you.

intilis · 08-08-2014, 04:18 AM

Sandy, hoping you stay safe and don't get much damage! You're in my thoughts & prayers. Please update us when you can.

yorkietalkjilly · 08-08-2014, 06:19 AM

Sandy, just seeing this though I've been thinking of you since I heard of the dual hurricanes headed your way. Please, please - you and those babies stay safe and secure and get through this. I'll be worried and praying for you guys. Check in as often as you can, please.

Cat2861 · 08-08-2014, 06:44 AM

Oh Good...Looks like Hurricane Iselle was downgraded to a tropical storm according to the news on tv here in Tampa. Stay Safe!!!!
