UPDATE: Flood warning is canceled and Highway 11 reopens to all traffic, flood watch in effect

A flood watch is in effect for the Big Island through tomorrow.

The burglary of tools, home appliances and other items occurred in August of 2025 at a house on Pineapple Parkway.

In one case the suspect used the Hawai‘i Police Department’s phone number and the name of a Hawai‘i Police Department employee to validate the scam, fleecing the victim of nearly $200,000.

Lighting and thunder have subsided near the airport, and power has mostly been restored.

Tony Hawaiʻi Kona purchased 83 acres, using six of it now for the dealership, with the remaining to one day become a green technology business park.

Flood watch extended through Monday, March 23, for Hawai’i Island only because of lingering moisture left by the departing kona low — the second of back-to-back kona lows in the past 2 weeks — and a trough aloft that will produce conditions for another round of rainfall.

The Hawaiʻi Agricultural Foundation and the Hawaiʻi Farm Bureau Federation have launched a coordinated relief effort to support farmers, ranchers and agricultural producers affected by the severe weather, flooding and prolonged heavy rains.

The man was initially reported missing Sunday afternoon, and was reported found later that night.

While the immediate threat from the storm has passed, recovery efforts continue across the islands as state and county crews assess damage, clear debris and restore impacted infrastructure.

Police say a 19-year-old man was crouching on the shoulder of Māmalahoa Highway when he jumped into the path of oncoming traffic.

The islands remain safe and welcoming, and after two kona lows in a week, weather conditions are expected to improve early next week; Kauaʻi and Oʻahu already are seeing improving conditions.

Martial arts, TV and movie icon Chuck Norris’s sudden passing on Kauaʻi has left the close-knit North Shore community and fans around the world in mourning.

The action movie star and legendary martial artist just celebrated his 86th birthday March 10 on the Garden Isle; he was hospitalized Wednesday, March 18, just a day before his death.

The Waikōloa museum’s Island Science Lecture Series continues today, March 19, with Jessica Nagasako, who will share some recent science updates from the Mauna Kea observatory and answer the question, ‘How do we get that data?’
