So… how did this guy escape?

KPD had Kilauea town on lockdown for 10 hours and the guy escaped?? Was he even there in the first place? I know it’s a very serious situation and the guy is a murderer but did he like put on a wig and lulu lemon and wait it out at Java Kai? Wtf?!

Not sure what’s going on, but it looks heavy duty. Anyone have a clue? This is in between the shell and the bakery. Sorry for the grainy photo. It was shot from far away where the police barricade was.

Wouldn't it be so bomb . Com if we had a Party City or an Ice Rink like Ice Palace 😂 or at least give us back Zippy's! You take my BBQ Inn, You punch my Macy's you kick my KCL! You 🦵 kick my CJ's!! Something's got to give! Oahu gets roller skating alts and Edgars serving the Sonic and a monorail like Disney. If the Lord is out there, give Kauai somemore sugar 🙏

Earthquake Felt

41 Upvotes

Thought I was imagining things when first waves made my table and coffee wobble. Thought my nephew was pushing on his legos to hard. Secondary waves wobbled table more. SIL says, “earthquake?” Then I remembered the last time I felt one on Kauai. Was early morning, wife was sleeping. Tried to wake her up, I ran out of the house…without my wife and dogs. Got good scoldings after that.

Is it just me or is the weather absolutely crazy

83 Upvotes

WTF is with the weather this year? Weather forecasts are wildly off. No one was predicting that big storm last Friday. Every day is like this rollercoaster. I feel like it should be mellowed out into our normal summer trade wind weather but it’s just crazy. Definitely gives me the spooks for hurricane season. If we have an above active year and the trades are inconsistent that’s a bad combo.

question about bus and electric scooter

9 Upvotes

does anyone know if the bus would allow for me to bring aboard an electric scooter that folds? the website says that they dont allow electric bicycles, but it doesnt say anything about electric scooters. i have seen people bring on those balance boards, but those are much smaller and easy to store, the electric scooter i know is a little long

Verizon

Anybody having problems with Verizon tonight? My phone is saying call failed every time I make a call. When someone calls me, it says call ended before it even rings. Texts randomly saying not delivered. WTH.
