All website problems have been fixed and the WebCam is now working as well.
The router that the webcam was using died, which is why it was down for the past few days.
The website search function was down because the server that our domain was on died and our ISP moved us to a new Server that had different PHP configuration. To make a very long story short, it works now.
Please bear with us while we try to fix some problems that have cropped up, when our isp upgraded our server. The WebCam is also down and this may take a few more days to fix.
HAU’OLI MAKAHIKI HOU!
Wishing you a beautiful new year!
From the Hansen Ohana
Maui has been experiencing some interesting and very rare weather the past few days. When we asked for rain to assist us with our low water table we didn’t expect this response. These photos were taken to show you a few South Kihei surprises. You will notice the waves are full of red dirt and sand. The lifeguard station was falling into the ocean on Kamaole Beach Two. Electricity has been out a lot, as has cell service. Although frustrating, the beauty of it all is that we rarely experience a storm like this and we all still share our aloha love of the Island.
Honua’ula (Wailea 670) is close to being approved. It will be 670 acres with 1,400 homes and condos while sensitive areas are to be preserved and protected. Part of the 35 or more possible approval conditions are that they provide their own water, prohibit vacation rentals, donate huge money for parks and schools and build 700 affordable houses (some on site). For future subdivisions the Council’s attitude seems to be “Develop your own water sources” and “No water, no development”. While this will help insure Maui will not over develop it may also prevent enough affordable housing from being built. It may also tend to keep housing prices high as supply will be finite.
