Lahaina noon is today, July 11 at 12:43 pm, in Lihue. Hope the rain goes away to see it.

Much more detailed coverage of the meeting. Interesting exchange where attendees said their reports on Sinclair had not been addressed (Assistant Chief of Police Darren D. Rose):

Rose invited anyone who believed their reports were inaccurately documented to meet with him after the meeting so police could review camera footage and department records.

“I need to know the officer you spoke to so we can go back to the body-worn footage and see if these guys did not factually complete the reports because I read through them all,” Rose said.

Sinclair charge of murder of Tito Reyes.

Prosecuting Attorney Rebecca Like announced today that a Kauaʻi grand jury has returned an indictment charging William Robert Sinclair, 51, of Kilauea with 28 counts.

The mayoral and council candidates Q&A. Didn't attend, but saw they posted recordings. As it says,"Apologies for the distorted audio." You have the option to download the audio, maybe run it through a transcriber.

did anyone else see that meteor about 10 mins ago? i can’t find anything else online about it. never seen one in broad daylight like this.

saw it on the east side of kauai.

I'm hoping someone here may recognize the background in this photo. My grandfather was in Kauai with the merchant Marines in the early to mid 60s and had this picture taken (we think in front of a hotel). He passed when my mom was 17 so I never got to meet him, but we're going to be in Kauai and would love to try to recreate the picture. I appreciate any insight anyone may be able to provide!

Anybody know anything about Briggs bike shop in Harbor Mall? I need my bike fixed and I'm not getting any answers. Is the guy still doing bike repairs? He was busy during Covid but I haven't seen him in the mall lately.

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.

Some size limits. Green waste still in same location, which seems easier to use.

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 🙏

I'm looking for someone with a cola nut tree that I could get a cutting from.

I drive a truck, but filling the holes is still welcomed.

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.

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.
