Last year we had a similar event and a similar dumping of upcountry debris on our beaches. At that time, after a number of emails I was told that the State had jurisdiction over our beaches but there is an...

2/8/24 #kihei North Kihei cannot get a break from flooding. At least this time the flooding is clean water, not the “mud flood” stormwater variety, but as it gushes over the road on to private property, you do not want it in your home. And it wastes a lot of potable water when a major pipe bursts. The County has asked South Maui to conserve water for 24 hours due to the...

1/3/24 #kihei UPDATE At almost this same exact location, this could have been yet another fireworks tragedy. Perhaps because of the brush abatement, the lack of wind, quicker neighborhood actions, some luck or a combination of all of these. 12/31/23 was scorched earth and a damaged fence. Once again firefighters lacked a key to the County gate at...
