Significant river flood along the Wailuku River near Hilo, Hawaii. Standing near this bridge you can feel the thuds with every tree that slammed into it. The rain is still falling substantially. @AaronRigsbyOSC @MyRadarWX #hiwx #Hurricane #lala – at Wainaku, HI

Having a chief of police come out and basically say its ok that a firefighter punched out a mirror of a storm chaser because "trained weather spotter’s were disobeying any and all traffic laws." Is absolutely insane to me. I can understand being frustrated by the ungodly amount of storm chasers (some who clearly shouldn't even have a drivers license). But endorsing damage to property because you are upset and irritated, sets a very bad precedent. ESPECIALLY AS A CHIEF OF POLICE. I would guarantee that if I punched a firefighter/police officers mirror out because "i was frustrated", I would get laughed at and thrown into jail/written a ticket. That absolutely ruins public trust when you hold such a double standard and attitude like that. As a PUBLIC SERVANT you are expected to hold yourself to a higher standard than what I literally just witnessed on the internet. Absolutely unacceptable. As for the chasers blowing past first responders, you are no better and should get written a ticket also. Pathetic #wxtwitter
