#Hawaii's #KonaStorm triggers #flooding, 100-mph #winds and summit snow
An emergency declaration was issued as a prolonged #kona storm is bringing dangerous flooding, waterspouts, high winds over 100 mph and 1-2 feet of snow to the summits.
By Emilee Speck, Mar 11, 2026
Excerpt: "Storms are producing intense downpours capable of triggering localized flooding, especially in upslope areas. Heavier rainfall is expected over #Kauai and #Oahu and continuing into the weekend.
" 'This deluge of heavy rain will persist for most of the Hawaiian Islands on Saturday, exacerbating any ongoing localized flooding,' Glenny said.
"As more rain falls, life-threatening flash flooding, mudslides and other debris flows are possible."

#Photography note:
The "#horse of a different color" - with a mane and tail taking on the color of the volcanic dirt nearby - was taken in Moloka'i, featured on one of many pages of still and video images.
There is an index page to navigate several web pages of #Molokai, including a trip down the sea cliffs by mule, to the famous "leper colony" of Father Damien, and also a visit to a coffee plantation, and seeking out some sunsets... all at

#NativeHawaiians unite to buy back land from #billionaire in a move never seen before
#Molokai residents want to return #Hawaiian lands to Hawaiian hands
“Today, that prophecy lives with us. The #makaainana, the workers of the land, are rising once again. This is our moment to move from defense to action, to fulfill that prophecy, to reclaim Molokai for our #kupuna, past and present, and for future generations.”
By Christine Hitt, Sep 18, 2025
"For generations, Native Hawaiians have been displaced from ancestral lands, and on the island of Molokai, where one-third of the island is owned by Hong Kong-headquartered billionaire investment firm #GuocoGroup, that physical separation is abundantly clear.
"The current owner, Guoco Group, bought Molokai Ranch in 2005 with plans to build 200 luxury homes, but it shut down operations in 2008 after the Molokai community opposed the development. The company put the ranch up for sale in 2017 at an asking price of $260 million. Ever since, the land has been sitting in limbo, and the foreign billionaire owner has been absent for more than a decade.
"Following years of the ranch’s neglect by the landowner, the Molokai Heritage Trust formed with the goal to return Hawaiian lands to Hawaiian hands. The group is done waiting for a benevolent buyer to purchase Molokai Ranch in hopes that things will be different. Instead, the community is taking an offensive approach, coming together peacefully with the collective goal to buy back the land to take care of, protect and steward."

@GrrlScientist
. . . In Hawaii, almost nothing below 3000 feet is native and the fires were almost entirely in the lowlands. (Endangered plant habitat has been imperiled by fire in some places.)7) VOLCANO ACTIVITY IS NOT CAUSING BIRD EXTINCTIONS! The Hawaiian Islands are, and always have been, volcanic. Life has flourished here for many tens of millions of years.
8) As pointed out by @manukikorangi, the #Molokai Creeper caption is incorrectly applied . . .

@pvonhellermannn @Andy_European absolutely! They are outstanding at passing down the knowledge, The artifacts burning are a terribly sad loss, but not one that will impede knowledge survival. Many moons ago I filmed a revered uncle on #Molokai about the art of loko pu'unone (fishponds). One day I'll edit it and share it, but it's etched in my memory! 🐟 🌈 🗻 🌊

Such a lovely new tune I'd love to see open with a player, new from Josienne Clarke 🎶
THE TANGLED TREE
“Searching for a tune
That I haven’t sung before
One that’s lesser used and lesser sad
But somehow maybe more "
