Obama Holiday Stay Means Another Power Outage

It’s been some years, but whenever POTUS visits Hawaii during the holidays, there’s a very good chance that a power outage will ensue. That tradition continues tonight on the eve and first day of 2016 with power going out around 11pm and coming back around 5am.

Lots of stars out on a clear night (see the little white specks).

The moon was shining bright as well.

Arashi Blast: No Power

If your electricity goes out on Friday or Saturday, you gotta blame the Arashi Blast concerts. With HECO already urging customers to cut back on consumption with the Kalaeloa plant out of commission awaiting parts and temperatures soaring above 90 degrees almost daily, you know the Arashi concert is going to push electrical demand near the red line when their gigantic stage goes live.

Over sixty feet tall, 280 feet wide, 13 HD screens, costing over $8 million to construct – you know this baby will suck up the juice. Not only that, but after the concert, overheated fans are going back to their hotel rooms and are most likely gonna crank up the AC to cool off from Arashi Blast.

Too bad sonic waves can’t be harnessed for power. All those screams and squeals from the fans would compensate.

With major power outages island wide, we experienced a modest outage lasting about two hours from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. How’d we survive dinner time with out electricity? Like this.
