There are many, many different words for "wind" in Hawai'ian. There are words for male and female winds, winds that come across the ocean, winds that come down the mountain, up the mountains, bring the rain, make the rains go away...you get the idea.
The past several days, the winds (I would guess all of them) have been very, very strong! In some places hurricane force gusts. Yesterday I was in town and was thinking about how windy it was, making my car shake while it was parked. I looked up and noticed that these flags showed it best...they are straight out, no flapping, no drooping, just straight out! These are some pretty BIG, strong winds.
One thing that these winds bring is a change where we see the rainbows here on the north shore. This actually looking towards the west, which is unusual.
I like listening to the winds, sometimes you can almost hear them coming and they sound like voices.
