A powerful storm hit most of the Hawaiian islands on Monday, Oct. 23 through Tuesday, Oct. 24. The powerful winds, numerous lightning strikes and heavy rain knocked out power in the entire island of Maui – at least 150,000 people.

In overall, more than 250,000 people lost power during these two extravagant and anomalous storms.

As heavy rain and thunderstorms engulfed overnight, the power went down for Maui. Lightning strikes, strong winds and flash flooding across the islands did hit the electrical system and caused damage to the system.
Almost all Maui customers had their power knocked out.
Downed poles and storm runoff caused a major traffic jam on the Hana Highway for those headed into Kahului.
Flooding also forced residents at a Lahaina apartment complex to evacuate. Stormy weather closed campgrounds and back country camping in Haleakala National Park.

Just two anomalous storms plunging hundred thousands of people in the dark in Hawaii and the Carolinas!
I have had a terrible suspicous thought on all this. We all know that weather wars have been used on us for a while now. Just like the 4 hurricanes we had in the US in Sept. Who is directing Harp to pull all these disaster on us. Is it to slow down Pres. Trumps agenda to get our country back up on the right note. I would not trust the globalist or the illuminati or the NWO to behind all this is some way. What if someone was able to pick up the phone and ordered this to be done on us.?????? Think about that one people. For me something is just not right with all these storms.!!!
There is no mention of this storm at all in the loco papers.
