PEARLS AND NOT
Amanda notes another TV series which had a Hawaii home. I'll have to present that synopsis to Cliff Claven and see if he can identify the show and its star. It seems to me, among my re-run viewing, that "Growing Pains" and "The Brady Bunch" had episodes or specials set in Hawaii. Of course, a number of movies have had a Hawaii locale, though the most notable were those of WWII - "Pearl Harbor" and an oldie that is a favorite of mine - "From Here to Eternity." Less memorable but with a happier tone is the King's "Blue Hawaii." No doubt there are many others.
Cliff did identify the site of the tornado that touched down on Oahu a couple of days ago: a pineapple field. I don't know if it was one of Dole's holdings or not as that corporate giant owns a good chunk (no pun intended) of the island of Lanai and, again citing Cliff as my source, it yields a million pineapples a day during harvest season. Apparently tornadoes are uncommon in Hawaii though evidently they can hit here and almost anywhere in the US. I suppose, except for Camelot, there's no place on earth where the weather is perfect 365 days a year.
