  1. can still get reliable advice about -- just not from the U.S. government. Glad to see my state, , among the voices of sanity. bigislandnow.com/2026/09/08/im

  2. check out this very nice video about the hawai'i 'ulu (breadfruit) co-operative: youtube.com/watch?v=IWelf-6NGQc

    my bf is a breadfruit farmer and a member of the co-op. i've been to their kona processing facility - which was really amazing!

    the folks who run the co-op are top notch, and i'm so happy that the co-op exists!

    the stuff they sell at the supermarket is unfortunately quite expensive, but hopefully with further development, the price will come down.

    they offer two features that are very important for local farmers: if you're a member, they will buy your product at a guaranteed minimum price if you bring them a certain minimum amount of harvest. and, they quickly process (usually freezing) the breadfruit so that it can be sold to the end-consumer without the time pressure of a rapidly-ripening breadfruit.

    also, here's a nice civil beat article about 'ulu production in hawai'i: civilbeat.org/2026/09/ulu-on-t

    the most interesting piece of info in the article?:

    "American Samoa produced almost 2.5 million pounds in 2023...

    Less than 5% of American Samoa’s breadfruit harvest — worth about $150,000 — was sold that year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That’s because breadfruit is mostly consumed by tree owners and the wider community as part of an informal sharing economy." 💪

  8. Welp, shit is getting re(ish) with Lowell. Power is out all over Kauai it sounds like. Winds getting a little gusty. Closest approach still 5 hours off. Cell towers are still up so that's good.

  9. Weather patterns are more severe thanks to #ClimateChange. This means that storms like hurricanes / cyclones don't need to make landfall to have a devastating impact. They can be far offshore and still bring gusty winds, high surf, and torrential rainfall.

    The most severe sea level rise models said that 60 ft (18 m) is possible within 75 years. I drew a 60 ft elevation line around #Hawaii and teared up - so much may be lost. Please do what you can to lessen your carbon footprint.

  23. #HurricaneLowell #Hawaii > A Hurricane Warning has been issued for the islands of Kauaʻi and Niʻihau as impacts from Lowell begin impacting the western islands. The National Weather Service says rainbands from Lowell are spreading over Kauaʻi and Oʻahu.

    At 2 a.m., the center of Hurricane Lowell was located about 415 miles SW of Līhuʻe, Kauaʻi and about 445 miles SW of Honolulu, Oʻahu. Lowell is moving toward the north-northeast near 10 mph.
