13. Oh shit.

The ground is just completely saturated here. Walked to check the water level of a nearby rain ditch and was in 6” of water covering my ankles and etc on grass that did not appear to be underwater from a few steps away. Squish squish.

Even the birds are audibly unhappy. The rare solo baby bird is peeping very pitifully here and there.*

A huge tree fell over on Kalākaua across from Kaimana beach and the exposed root ball dwarfed 5’ reporter.

We did need the rain. Still.

* Before I’m called heartless, I did put a little box together with some warm stuff in it for the next one. We’ll have to figure out how to keep the dog off him. It should be a solveable problem.
