I don't understand the analogy, but will carry my umbrella.

"The two conditions together create an unstable atmosphere.

It is like "putting water on top of oil in a container," said Vladimir Ryshko, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service. "Same thing happens."

I hope the city has had all drainage canal cleared of debris occasionally. My aunt's house got flooded in 2006 b/c the canal next to her house had so much debris in the tunnel under the street, the water could only go upwards and over the sides into her yard. Cuttings from yards, shoes, plastic bottles, household rubbish were things found in the canal prior to the flood of '06.

Gee, last year was only 40+ days of rain during ho'olio (winter) and some people drowned on Kauai. First they grumbled about the rain; then they whined about the drought.

Be careful of what you ask for ... now even the tourists have gone away.

Ha-ha-ha. Sorry 'bout dat.
