Monastery Rides Out Storm
We want to assure our CyberCadets that all is well at the monastery this morning.
It's true that Kauai has just gone through a powerful rain storm that brought floods and landslides to the North Shore, which took the brunt of the storm. In 24 hours there were 27 inches of rain in the Hanalei area.
At the monastery there were strong rains, but not THAT strong. More like 5-7 inches. Still, the Wailua River rose to a level not seen in about 17 years, rising a full ten feet from normal! That brought a mountain of fallen trees down stream, which are now piled up on the banks of the Nani Kaua pond! In 50 years we have not seen such a massive amount of debris here.
Otherwise, the rain did not cause any real damage. A little erosion on the roads and a lot of mud on our vehicles. We are glad to report that the sun is meekly peeking through the clouds this morning and all is well in Siva's Perfect Universe.

I had faith, but am reassured to know that the Wailua River did not inundate Iraivan! We don’t know if flood waters caused any damage to my brother’s house at Ha’ena: the roads are not open yet. Nature can be so awesome and powerful! We are NOT in control!

Where there is a holy man of divine worth who pursues the Lord, that
all space embraces; there enemies are none. Rains in abundance fall.
Full is the people’s contentment. No evil befalls that land.
