AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoHurricane Lowell: Hawaii is on high alert as Lowell surges back to Category 5 with 160 mph winds, moving west near 7 mph, and forecasters warn it could turn sharply north toward the islands early next week—bringing heavy rain, flash-flood and mudslide risk, plus dangerous surf and rip currents, with Kauaʻi and Niʻihau the biggest concern. Local preparedness: Gov. Josh Green and Kauaʻi leaders urged residents to finish preparations now, preposition resources, clear waterways, lower reservoirs, and stay away from floodwaters and hazardous coasts. Community response: Kauaʻi towns are leaning on “ohana” networks—sharing food, checking on neighbors, and securing supplies—echoing memories of Iniki. Health updates: The West Coast Health Alliance is urging updated 2026-27 respiratory virus vaccines and other protections, as cases rise. Public safety: A dump truck crash under the Waiawa overpass snarled H-1 eastbound traffic before lanes reopened. Politics: Hawaiʻi Supreme Court ordered a new election for Oʻahu House District 43 after a GOP primary tie and ballot issues. Volcano watch: Kīlauea’s summit eruption is paused, with scientists forecasting a possible next lava-fountaining episode window in early September.
