Did you know hurricane season is underway and runs through November 30?  The Hawaii Red Cross and Kanu Hawaii are sponsoring a “Get Ready” Emergency Preparedness Workshop at Kaimuki Public Library on Sunday, November 6 at 2 p.m. in the Adult Reading Section.  
    
This workshop will provide important information for Hawaii residents such as how to stay informed in the event of a hurricane or tsunami watch, when and where to evacuate, the difference between hurricane and tsunami shelters, how to make an emergency plan that ensures the safety of everyone, and the best resources available from the City & County of Honolulu, and the State and Federal Governments.  The one-hour workshop is suitable for ages 12 and older.  
    
Contact the Library as soon as possible if a sign language interpreter or other special accommodation is needed.

Monday night's severe weather didn't make for good driving conditions.

Heavy rain created flooding on Keeaumoku Street.

Traffic lights were also out near Wal-Mart.

Last night's heavy rains, and violent thunder and lightning, overloaded storm drains in the Moiliili area flooding a local business.

Employees of Kokua Market on S. King street came into several inches of water in the store this morning after the heavy rains.

Employees said the store may not open today until they are able to remove all the water caused by the blocked drain.

One employee stated, "The drain is blocked often and they have a stick they sometimes use to unclog it."
