I'm browsing Google Earth around Kauai Hawaii and I noticed a really deep spot in the water just off the coast( 21°57'19.39"N 159°20'21.30"W). The surrounding water depth is about 50 feet, but the depth of the hole is over 6,000 feet. So I decided to dive in and take a look. Next thing I know, I am in South Africa. Pretty weird, so I try it again. Same result. Every time I try it, I end up in or near South Africa. Does this happen for anyone else?

A powerful earthquake in Alaska sent towering waves up to 30 feet (9 meters) tall crashing down on Hawaii about 500 years ago, leaving behind fragments of coral, mollusk shells and coarse beach sand in a sinkhole located on the island of Kauai, new research finds. The quake, likely a magnitude 9.0, sent the mighty waves toward Hawaii sometime between 1425 and 1665, the study found. It's possible that another large Alaskan earthquake could trigger a comparable tsunami on Hawaii's shores in the future, experts said. The tsunami was at least three times the size of the damaging 1946 tsunami,...

Homeless campers evicted’ That was the top headline in Friday’s TGI after campers at Anahola Beach Park were told to vacate or face arrest last week. We’re not disputing that these folks weren’t supposed to be there, but we will argue this is a sign of the severity of the homeless problem in Hawaii and specifically, on Kauai .... No surprise that homelessness is a problem. Kauai is a very expensive place to live. Rent, utilities, groceries and gas — all of which hit the shrinking middle class and the rising low-income hard — are among the highest in the...

KAUAI, HI, April 24, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Planned Parenthood has closed yet another facility due to declining business, this one on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.

Kauai prosecutor Marc E. Guyot has violated the laws set forth in the State of Hawaii Constitution and the United States Constitution of America and has committed treason against the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

WASHINGTON, Dec 11 (Reuters) - A missile from a U.S. Navy Aegis cruiser knocked out a dummy warhead over the Pacific Thursday, the fourth intercept in five such tests of a sea-based anti-missile shield, the Pentagon said. The Standard 3 missile fired from the Lake Erie off Kauai in the Hawaiian islands "successfully engaged the target with hit-to-kill technology" about four minutes after the target was launched, said Chris Taylor, a spokesman for the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency. The last test, on June 18, failed. The sea-based defense is to be integrated into a multilayered missile shield. President George W....

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon says it plans to use a sea-based missile to shoot down a mock warhead over the Pacific today for the first time since a botched drill last June. The Missile Defence Agency said a "hit-to-kill" missile fired from the U.S. Navy Aegis cruiser USS Lake Erie on Thursday would try to intercept a dummy warhead fired from the Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai in the Hawaiian islands. It would use information relayed by the destroyer USS Russell, sometime after 5 p.m. Britisht time, the agency said. Chris Taylor, a spokesman for the agency, said...

LIHUE >> A bill giving Kauai the toughest restaurant smoking ban in Hawaii goes to the County Council next week after a Council committee made the measure even more restrictive Thursday night. The committee removed an exemption for small, family-owned restaurants in which all the employees are family members. A provision, aimed primarily at golf course clubhouses, was added Thursday that will allow smoking at combination bars and restaurants during hours when meals are not served. The bill prohibits smoking at any restaurant whether indoors or outdoors. It is much more restrictive than ordinances passed earlier this year on Oahu...

LIHUE >> The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has designated areas of critical habitat for Newcomb's Snail, a tiny freshwater snail found only in remote areas of Kauai. The designation does not create a "refuge" but does require "special management considerations" for any projects within the critical habitat that receive federal funding. Included in the critical habitat area are 12.3 miles of stream channel and 4,479 acres of adjacent lands. Most of the areas are within the Na Pali Coast State Park and three forest reserve areas managed by the state. The Newcomb's snail lives its entire life in the...

DEAR FREEPERS, On my first return to the U.S.A. in 15 years of missionary work in Asia, I'll be stopping through Hawaii--Honolulu and Kauai for about 8 days around 27 JUL UNTIL 6 AUG. Am interested in any suggestions from FREEPERS re what to see on those two islands. I'm hoping to stay at friends in Honolulu but my BA Univ roommate's parents on Kauai have probably moved to Texas to be with their daughter. Suggestions for hotels there would be great. What are the best Spirit-filled worship places to check out? I don't have a driver's license any more....
