Wet Waikiki

Much to the dismay of Spring Break vacationers, Hawaii has been plagued by uncharacteristically bad weather for the last two weeks. Thunderstorms, heavy rains, floods, landslides, even tornados and hail. The tourist mecca of Waikiki has not escaped the gray skies, where you're now as likely to see umbrellas and ponchos as bikinis and surfboards. Music is "Puddlehopping" from Fall Submissions by AntiGuru (Magnatune).

If you live there can you tell me do they dump the sewage water out to sea? I got that impression and am sure it happens all over the world but you would think the United States would be advanced enough to treat the water and to be able to handle heavy rains for it is common. It is a tragedy to pollute such beautiful beaches. Here in the Gulf Of Mexico they have warnings to post when raw sewage spills in. Shouldn't happen at any time. Good video for a rainy day.

I felt sorry for the tourists, lol. They were probably expecting loads and loads of beautiful sunshine.

I was there for the entire month of March 2006. It was the middle four weeks of a six week rainstorm.Raw sewage was being pumped into the Ala Wai canal.You could smell it on the beach at the Hilton.This was no pleasant tropical rain.

It rained a couple of days when I was in Waikiki. I tried to make the best of it but it's sort of damaging to the psyche, especially since I was only there for 8 days.

It's still a great place even in the pouring rain. Hawaii is the best place on earth. The Hawaiian people and their culture are great!
