Outer rain bands from Hurricane Hone produced a prolonged period of heavy rainfall from Saturday, August 24 through most of Sunday, August 25. Several rain gages along the windward and southeast facing slopes of the Big Island reported 2-day totals greater than 20 inches. Fortunately, rain rates were mostly below an inch per hour, which mitigated more serious flooding beyond road closures in low-lying areas. The most significant road impacts included Highway 11 at Kawa Flats, and Cane Haul Road and Wood Valley Road near Pahala. North Kulani Road near Mountain View in the Puna District was also closed. The following are notable automated rain gage totals for the 48-hour period ending at 6 AM HST, August 26. All amounts are in inches.
