The year that was 2018 might best be known in Hawaii for its explosions — the ones that did happen and the big one that didn’t.
Kilauea blew its top repeatedly this summer, blasting ash into the
air and sending molten lava bursting from 24 vents in Lower Puna,
disrupting thousands of lives, destroying millions of dollars’ worth of
property and transforming the landscape over a dramatic four-month
display of nature’s power.
The one that didn’t happen: the false missile alert. Whew!
Here are Hawaii’s top five news stories of 2018:
1. KILAUEA’S HISTORIC ERUPTION
2. FALSE MISSILE ALERT
3. RECORD FLOODING, ACTIVE STORMS
4. HOTEL WORKERS TAKE TO PICKETING
5. ASSISTED-DEATH BILL GETS APPROVAL
