The vog is long gone on Oahu, but folks are still talking about it on the Big Island. I saw a news report last Friday (but didn’t see it in print) that an early study shows that vog interferes with rainfall. The more vog, the less rainfall. A little bit scary, considering Hawai’I (at least Oahu) has had a pretty dry year. And on the Big Island, there’s been so much vog activity the crops have already been hurt. But, here’s a cheery, blue sky-and-clouds picture from our neighborhood once the vog cleared away to help one not get too down about it!
Note: The development on the coastline below us in this picture is actually an industrial area. The harbor seen just over the tree on the right is where Noel catches TheBoat (a 10-15 minute ride through Kapolei in the morning). Also, you can't make it out here, but there's an oil refinery and smoke stacks galore. Looks great at night though, 'cause all you can see is lights and you would think it's kind of quaint!
