Honoring Kauai's own Damian Baptiste for a national weather service award
We're raising a glass, and our gaze to the sky, to Damian Baptiste, Assistant Superintendent at Princeville Makai Golf Club, who just snagged the 2022 John Companius Holm Award from the National Weather Service. It's a big deal: fewer than 25 cooperative weather observers nationwide receive this honor each year, and one of them calls Kauai home. Damian's dedication to tracking our island's ever-changing skies embodies the grounded, adventurous spirit we love around here. It's that same community-first energy that fuels our recent charity golf event, where we raised over $30,000 for the Aloha ʻĀina Collective. From the course to the clouds, Kauai's heartbeat is in the details.
How to Visit Kauai's North Shore After the Floods with Respect and Awareness
Twenty-eight inches of rain in 24 hours. That's what hit Kauai's North Shore last weekend, leaving homes destroyed, roads closed, and more than 425 people airlifted from Ha'ena and Wainiha. This isn't a normal weather update, it's a wake-up call for how we visit places recovering from disaster. If you're planning to explore this breathtaking stretch of coastline, do it with respect and genuine awareness. The land is healing, and so is the community.
