  • Nearly 20 Years Since Hurricane Iniki

    Nearly 20 Years Since Hurricane Iniki

    Nearly 20 Years Since Hurricane Iniki by Steven Businger and Tom Schroeder [email protected], [email protected] Professors of Meteorology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa On September 11, 1992 hurricane Iniki scored a direct hit on the island of Kauai. Over a period of only three hours, the category-3 hurricane caused damage equivalent to the total general fund budget of the state of Hawaii at that time and wiped out the historical profits of the Hawaii homeowners insurance industry. Economic impacts were felt even a decade after the event. As the 20th anniversary of Iniki nears (2012) it is appropriate that we take stock of where Hawaii stands. We are fortunate in Hawaii that our island chain presents a small target for relatively rare central Pacific hurricanes. Although Kauai has been impacted by three hurricanes since the mid-1950s (Dot in 1959, Iwa in 1982, and the category- 3 Iniki on this day in 1992), it has been over a century since a major hurricane has struck the Island of Hawaii and Maui. On August 9, 1871 a major hurricane struck both the Island of Hawaii and Maui, leaving tornado-like destruction in its wake. This event was well documented in the many newspapers of the time, which allowed us to determine that the hurricane was at least a category-3 storm. There is much the public can do to mitigate the damage in advance of hurricanes (hurricane clips to keep the roof from blowing off, and storm shutters to protect windows, etc.). Insurance risk models begin projecting property losses as winds hit 40 mph.

Along with the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) and financial sponsors the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA) and the Waikīkī Business Improvement District Association (WBIDA) the Mayor announced a public safety package. "Waikiki is one of the safest visitor destinations in the entire world, and we want to make sure our visitors always feel comfortable in this very special place," said Mayor Caldwell. "We especially thank the visitor industry partners, and in particular the Hawai'i Tourism Authority and the Waikiki Business Improvement District Association, for stepping up and providing hundreds of thousands of dollars for new security cameras. When the installation is pau, the Waikīkī district will have at least 50 surveillance cameras to help police in their mission to keep both visitors and residents safe while they celebrate life in one of the most incredible places on the planet.” (L-R) Rick Egged, President, WIA; Ross S Saamura, P.E.

  • A Taxonomic Revision of the Endemic Hawaiian Lysimachia (Primulaceae) Including Three New Species!

    A Taxonomic Revision of the Endemic Hawaiian Lysimachia (Primulaceae) Including Three New Species!

    Pacific Science (1997), vol. 51, no. 3: 254-287 © 1997 by University of Hawai'i Press. All rights reserved A Taxonomic Revision of the Endemic Hawaiian Lysimachia (Primulaceae) Including Three New Species! KENDRICK L. MARR AND BRUCE A. BOHM2 ABSTRACT: A taxonomic revision of the endemic Lysimachia of the Hawaiian Islands was undertaken with the goal of clarifying species boundaries, especially within the L. hillebrandii/L. remyi complex of the previous taxonomic treatment. The endemic species appear to be monophyletic with Malesian affinities. The revision presented here is based upon observations of morphological characters. Sixteen species are recognized, of which three are probably extinct. Most species have narrow ecological preferences and are endemic to a single island. Species differ from each other most notably in the size, shape, and venation of the leaves; the size, shape, and pigmentation of the calyx and corolla lobes; and the presence or absence of viscid stems and leaves. Populations previously classified within L. hillebrandii or L. remyi differ in a number of characters not previously evaluated including vestiture, leaf color and venation, pedicel position and color, and calyx shape and color. Three new species, L. iniki, L. pendens, and L. scopulensis, are described. A key to species, species descriptions, and distribution maps are provided. Lysimachia, ONE OF the largest genera of the sented by the indigenous coastal Lysimachia Primulaceae, consists of approximately 180 spe­ mauritiana Lam. and subgen. Lysimachiopsis cies of upright or sprawling perennial or annual (Heller) Hand.-Mazz., which consists of species herbs, shrubs, or subshrubs. Southwest China, endemic to the Hawaiian Islands.

    President’s Message Summer is just around the corner. Kauai is expecting an increase of visitors over 2014. What that means is Nihilani will also experience an increase in vacation renters. Our goal, as well for Owners who operate vacation rentals, is for those visitors to enjoy their trip to Paradise. One of the key objectives for Nihilani is to prevent problems before they occur. In order to achieve that objective, the Board has directed our Site Managers to be proactive with visitors. When the Site Manager(s) are at work and they see people they do not know, they will go over to them and introduce themselves. The Manager will ask if they have had a chance to read the “Short List” of rules. If they do not have a copy, the Manager will provide one. They will point out to them the key rules which visitors often violate. The Managers will also tell the visitor(s), if they have any questions to please contact them. This approach will ensure that the first (and hopefully the last) contact with the Site Manager is a positive one. What the Board expects Owners, who rent their units out for vacation rentals, is to make sure each renter gets a copy of the “Short List” of rules and ask each renter to read them before they arrive. The Board also expects that you to work with your property manager to ensure they are not telling the renters anything that conflicts with the rules. As you know, we have had problems with property managers telling renters they can park anywhere.
