An approaching cold front produced winds w/ gusts nearing hurricane strength in some parts of the state of Hawaii. The NWS issued a high wind warning, as well as a flash flood warning.
I was hoping for an opportunity to photograph lightning (a rare event in Hawaii), but the band of t-storms weakened just as it reached Oahu.
I did experience some intense winds, & witnessed a few power flashes which preceeded power outages. The rest of the island experienced downed utility poles & uprooted trees. The following link includes damage pics:
