Haleakala on Maui recorded 812.8mm of rain yesterday. NAM weather model says they are expecting another 787.4mm of rain over the next 24 hours, and another 1,800mm of rain combined over the next 48 hours. This is quite likely the most powerful Category 5 Atmospheric Rivers we have ever seen on Planet Earth in recorded history. In 72 hours, portions of Hawaii may see double the amount of Rainfall that Vancouver, BC would see in an entire year. Think about how wet of a city we are. Double our annual rainfall in just a 72 hour time span. Beyond baffling to see this. I can't even begin to imagine what 8+ feet of rain would do to an area falling in just 3 days. Sure Hawaii has seen a thing or two. But this is beyond extreme for any location on earth.
