Maui is famous for its daily tradewinds, but today, we got to see a fierce, almost scary side of it. Blowing through the "valley" portion of Maui going from northeast to southwest, today's 50+ knot winds shut down Maalaea Harbor. Maalaea is home to many snorkel, dive, and fishing operations, and for the boats not to go out, it means conditions were dangerous to say the least.
This tree broke in half.
I recall taking this photo of the Four Winds II and not only leaning into the wind, but taking spray all over my face and camera!
I actually considered standing on top the the cement wall to get a better shot, but decided not to go swimming.
