I know this is not a normal post but this morning the news and weather folks were saying we were going to get an amazing 20 inches of rain. Now they are saying we will get 50 inches of rain from the hurricane. Vicky and I are going to take as much of our trains upstairs as possible. I don't thing any house can take that much rain. We are moving garbage cans in the house to collect water even though we have a new roof. Give us a good thought. Don and Vicky

May your "Guardian Angels" do their job well & don't forget to thank them if all goes well!
Prayers for you and I hope that its turns out to be a scare .The weathermen seem to hype everything up any more. 
Good Luck and God Bless!
Hope you survive! idk how big your collection is but it would be a shame to lose it! Stay safe my friend!
We've seen a foot of water, but 50 inches? Our prayers are with you!
Just turned into a cat 5.....Heven help us.
Prayers and best wishes for the safety of your family and your home.
Hoping all goes well Don. Spent time at Schofield Barracks a few years back, never made it to your island, don't think that housing could take 50" of rainfall.
Hoping for the best for you and Vicky and all the good folks in my favorite state.
Hoping for the best for you. Hurricane Lane looks nasty.
Don and Vicky, prayers and good thoughts go out to you and the other folks in Hawaii as this hurricane approaches. Stay safe, and be sure to check in when it's all over with. The Milwaukee Road will survive! 
Don

Thoughts and prayers for you and all on that fair isle.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who may be affected by the storm in Hawaii.
My thoughts and prayers go with you also. Please let us know you're safe as soon as circumstances allow.
Hi Don, I hope and pray for you and your family's safety. Dave
Best wishes for minimal damage, safety and health to you and your family.
Hope you all do okay. You probably won't be able to respond again for some time. ( power outages, communication towers down etc) Prayers for all of you out there.
Just keep going . . . . you will persevere. We're thinking of you !
I was looking at the weather out there, I certainly hope you guys make it through without massive damage! It looks like it's going to be a wild one with all the wind and rain. I can't even imagine what 50 inches of rain would look like in the space of a couple days at most, but I'm sure it's going to be bad!
Hoping you fair well.
Good luck.
If you are sheltering in place fill your bathtubs with water now, so if you lose water service, you have plenty in the tubs.
Please stay safe over there. I can't imagine 50" of rain!
John
Good luck Don stay safe.
Don,
I just saw the weather report. We're praying for your safety.
Be safe, nail everything done, and God bless. Stay away hurricane, take your rain elsewhere where it is needed.
Fingers crossed. Be safe and good luck! 
Prayers up!

Take care Don and we certainly hope you guys fare well through this! What elevation is your home compared to your immediate surroundings? Are you in danger of flooding?
Don, good thoughts coming your way. Hoping for the best for you, Vicky and everyone else bracing for Hurricane Lane.

I hope that you and your family will safely ride out this storm. Our prayers are with you and all the other residents of Maui and the other islands.
