More than two trillion gallons of water-enough to fill three million Olympic-sized pools-fell across the state, marking the most severe storm conditions in nearly two decades.
The powerful March storms that drenched Hawaii produced more than 2 trillion gallons of rain and pushed precipitation levels to as much as 3,000% above normal in a 14-day period for this time of year.
Emile Konig testified that his father called him after the alleged attack, saying, 'That he would not be making it back to Maui and to take good care of the younger kids and that he had - that Ari, my stepmom, had been cheating on him and that he tried to kill her.'
The eruption generated significant heat and ash, USGS said, with some six inches of tephrabits of volcanic material, ranging from glasslike particles to rocks and ashaccumulating on a nearby golf course.

It just got more expensive to stay on the Hawaiian islands thanks to a tax increase affecting accommodations across the state. On Jan. 1, Hawaii raised the statewide Transient Accommodations Tax (TAT) from 10.25 percent to 11 percent with each county able to also impose an extra 3 percent tax on top of that. The state's Gov. Josh Green has dubbed the increase a "green fee" with the goal of building climate change resiliency.
It came to its conclusion after evaluating all 50 states across three key dimensions: emotional and physical well-being, work environment, and community and environment. Those three dimensions were evaluated using 30 metrics, including the physical health of the population, sleep rates, food insecurity, commute times, income growth rate, average leisure time per person, safety, and more. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing maximum happiness. WalletHub then averaged each state's numbers to calculate its overall score.

"One day," I always say, "it'll be full and we'll use it to pay for a trip to Hawaii." I've always wanted to visit the Aloha State. Its stunning beaches looked like the perfect escape from everyday life. Through family deaths, job losses, health scares, and the stresses of raising small kids, Hawaii - and that glass jar - served as a promise of easier times ahead. I'm glad I waited until I was sober.
With advances in transportation, it's become easier than ever to visit nearly any point in the world that you might imagine. That's the good news; what complicates the matter is the challenge of visiting a new destination ethically, in a way that is respectful of local residents, the ecosystem and the history of the region. It's an ethos that's taken root in Hawaii, where a system of regenerative tourism is now in place.

From friendly therapy dogs at IGA Istanbul Airport to meditation spaces and sensory rooms inspired by water at Newark's renovated Terminal A, flora and fauna have made their way into the once-austere atmosphere. Still, real outdoor spaces remain a rarity at airports, and the ones that do exist, like the open-air terrace in San Francisco or the Sunflower Garden at Changi in Singapore, often feel like you're sitting on the tarmac, watching planes depart and inhaling jet fuel while you're at it.
"HDOT's Energy Security Plan is a call to action. Together, we can create a transportation system that is cleaner and safer while fulfilling its purpose to connect our communities. The strategies outlined in this plan will help us build out the system for our future generations."
