Nine relief spots across Hawaiʻi Island are now open to help after Hurricane Lala, offering water, phone charging, and device power-ups to communities still reeling from outages. Set up in Keaʻau, Pāhoa, Volcano, and more, these hubs are bringing immediate aid where it’s needed most — with locals thrilled to finally recharge their phones and access clean water. A joint effort by Vibrant Hawaiʻi Resilience Hubs, the County of Hawaiʻi, and local partners like KTA Super Stores and The Salvation Army, these stations will operate daily this week, guided by community needs. Check the Vibrant Hawaiʻi website for updates if you’re on the island and need support.

Tropical Storm Lala left Oahu in chaos—traffic lights are out, streets are flooded with debris, and commutes are longer than ever. Drivers? Treat every dark intersection like a four-way stop. Walkers? Look both ways… then look again. And if you spot a downed power line? Don’t touch it—call 911. City crews are working hard to restore order, but patience and caution are key until things fully return to normal.

Hurricane Lala slammed into Pāhala, leaving residents without power, water, or sewage as Highway Eleven washed out—cutting off the entire town. After three nights of isolation and chaos, a partial reopening brought relief for evacuees and first responders. Neighbors banded together to share what little they had, while Kaʻū Hospital ran on backup power, bracing for a surge in storm-related medical needs. A temporary bypass is being built to restore access to Naʻalehu and Kona, but full recovery remains a daunting challenge as the community begins rebuilding from the ground up.

Jeanie Buss is fighting to stay in control of the Lakers as her siblings push to sell their 17.8% stake to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger — a move that would strip her of her governor role, which requires at least 15% ownership. Her lawyer insists the sale needs unanimous trustee approval, and she claims the vote was invalid since she was the only sibling opposed. This isn’t the first family feud: Jeanie ousted brother Jim in 2017, and two brothers were fired last year amid disputes over past deals. The siblings argue it’s time to move on, but Jeanie accuses them of leaking info to smear her and sabotage her leadership. The NBA must still approve the deal — a process that could take months — as the storied franchise remains caught in a bitter power struggle.

Paramount’s desperate bid to force states into posting a $1.9 billion bond over the Warner Bros. Discovery deal is backfiring—facing stiff resistance from California and other states who argue they entered the merger knowing the “ticking fees” were coming, and now Paramount’s trying to shift the financial burden onto taxpayers after the fact.
