Loading ...Hilo side of the Big Island normally gets a lot of rain, but this went way beyond runoff capacity. Hilo town flooded. Highway north is closed with landslides where cuts made next to soft ground. Some reports upslope of 30 inches of rain so far.

That island cannot handle as much water as we got on the volcano here.
