Makaha Valley recovers from a recent fire

A month ago Oahu was lacking rain and the leeward areas of the island were drying up.  At times like this brush fires are common events.

One month ago today a fire spread in Makaha Valley.  Residents of Makaha Valley Towers got a spectacular view of the fire.  I spoke with some residents yesterday and they said it caused some dust and odor but otherwise was not a scary situation.

Since the fire we've had some rain and oh, what a difference.  Here's a photo of the Makaha mountainside that was burned to a crisp last month.  Now it's lush and green again. 

Makaha is a great location for getting away from the big city (Honolulu) and you'll also find that homes and condos are more affordable.  It's a 35-mile drive to the Honolulu airport.  Some people love it here, others prefer Waikiki.
