And it was a bust. The STORM of the century hit when I was there. 4" of rain in one hour. over 70 homes destroyed by floods on the Eastern side of the island. Everyone stayed inside for MOST of the 8 days I was there. the North shore (where they film LOST) was shut down due to 50-60 MPH gusts and huge rain. the Television had that "emergency broadcast system" alerts all the time warning about "severe hazard of flash floods" over the entire island.
Well at least it was 82 degrees. Now I'm back to the freezing "lower 48"
