"I'm just worried about, you know, the air quality," resident Clayton Thomas told CNN affiliate KHNL/KGMB. He wanted to get a mask for his nephew, who has asthma, but went to five different stores with no luck.

Lawmakers have an idea for keeping homeless in shelters: Pay them to stay
Hawaii has the nation's highest rate of homeless per capita — and more than half of the homeless live on the streets.

If passed, chronically homeless individuals in the 96817 area (roughly, Urban Honolulu) would be paid a $12 stipend for every night they stay in a homeless shelter.

Pearl Harbor visitors were watching video on Dec. 7 attack when false alarm dinged on their phones
It was a little too close to home when dozens of visitors to the USS Arizona Memorial gathered in the site’s theater to watch an introductory video documenting the terrifying moments when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941.
