Hawaii is very lucky. Even as of last Friday, "Felicia" was still making 20-30 mm/hr of rainfall, which would have been magnified greatly by the mountains. A good friend of mine died several years ago when a freak afternon thunderstorm caused a mountain stream in Maui to rise rapidly. He was washed away with his daughter, and neither were ever found, so flash flooding in Hawaii can be very serious. Thankfully, "Felicia" is much "drier" now. - HLG
