Dan On Maui

We arrived in Maui at 9 a.m. Rex Von Arnswaldt and I went to Costco. It was very busy. Customers are buying up essentials: water, toilet paper, canned food and more.

We met with Mayor Charmaine Tavares after that. She said she will call the storm “Fickle Felicia” since it has changed directions several times.

Tavares said she is concerned about Hana, Kaupo side of the Valley Isle because the area is prone to landslides and flooding.

Tavares said the biggest challenge for Maui County is to figure out what to prepare for because the county covers three islands. She said there are also remote locations on Maui that are hidden.

Despite the oncoming threat, Maui had a beautiful day after some showers in the morning.
