Power Outage at Topa Financial Center | Honolulu News

Power outage at the Topa Financial Center downtown hits 100+ businesses after a basement AC leak damaged critical switchgear—no easy fix in Hawaii. Engineers and Hawaiian Electric are racing to restore power, possibly rerouting electricity or using a giant generator, with elevator access for one tower targeted for Monday/Tuesday. Meanwhile, building management’s offering free temporary space at the Davies Pacific Center, even pausing redevelopment to help. Lights may return, but the fix is complex and slow.

Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Mystery | Honolulu News

The U.S. is facing its largest cyclosporiasis outbreak ever, with over 11,500 cases across 41 states — all locally acquired, not from abroad. Experts are baffled as multiple outbreaks surge simultaneously, with contaminated water suspected but no clear source. The parasite’s long incubation period and fading memory of what people ate make tracing nearly impossible. Investigators scramble through shopper data to find links, while the FDA steps in after CDC leads, only to find produce already shipped by the time they arrive. With no federal mandates for water or produce testing, the mystery endures — and public health remains in the dark.

Hurricane Fausto Heads Toward Hawaii | Honolulu News

Hurricane Fausto’s heading toward Hawaii, set to skirt the islands Tuesday into Wednesday—expected to weaken but still packing serious risks. Officials urge you to prep now: stock up on 14 days of food and water, secure docs, trim hazardous branches, and clear drains. Check weather before any outdoor activity, especially near water. Power companies warn of outages and electrical dangers—plug in surge protectors, unplug extras, test flashlights and generators with spare batteries. If you rely on medical equipment, confirm backup plans and evacuation routes. Keep generators outside, stay clear of downed lines, and report them immediately. Even if Fausto fades, staying alert and ready could save you from disaster. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
