| MAUI, Jan. ia Kona storm, the
! fiercest in years ragged violently all
last night and is still in progress. The
| wind blew with frightful velocity from
| shutdown until o'clock a. m, when
| the rain came down in torrents, caus-
/ ing the blast to moderate somewhat.
| In the Kula- Makawao section, which
is one of the centers of Kona storms.
| SOC inches of rain fell between and
| a. M, averaging an inch an hour.
But the gale of the night was a
/ nerve-racking one. Lights shone forth
from every dwelling, showing that
| anxious people, fearing less their roofs
would fly from the fastenings or be
wide awake waiting for moderation
of the storm which did not come I'M
til the wee sma hours. 1t was time
when humanity seemed most puny
| and the spirit. of mortal experienced
other sentiments than those of pride.
The fierce rushing roar of the wind
was accompanied every now and then
by sharp noises of debris violently
striking against the sizes and roof of
the houses. Old shingles were ripped
off, small outbuildings and windmills
trees and sometimes the trees them
selves were thrown crashing to the
ground, and pieces of bark and leaves
hurled thick and fast through the air.
All telephone communication is
broken off on account of injury to
wires and the falling of many poles.
There was also a Kona storm. with
heavy rainfalls in Waikiki and Ma
kawao during Sunday and Monday.
