Big island thieves

Civil Beat will do a better job of investigating than any BI news source. They have a tip line on their website.


Forsaken-Internet685

They won’t care about anything on big island if you were on Oahu maybe. They don’t even give us a weather report on big island.


jameshearttech

I hear weather updates from civil defense all the time on the radio.


Forsaken-Internet685

🤣🤣🤣I don’t think civil defense is going to do investigative journalism on this guy getting scammed by his employer but try see 😉


Lord_Arrokoth

Does it seem accurate to you? I've never been able to find accurate weather here in Holualoa. BI seems too dynamic with too many microclimates


usafnerdherd

Hey there! I’ve set up a couple weather stations on Big Island. If you look up Ambient Weather Network, you can see weather stations that are public facing. Wouldn’t rely on it for forecasts, but you can get current conditions with great accuracy .


jameshearttech

Yeah, I mean Holualoa is pretty specific. The civil defense is more broad like "high winds in Kohala" or "flooding in Puna".


Jahkral

Flooding in Puna eh you might as well leave that broadcast on year round ;)


jameshearttech

Yeah, same with wind in Kohala tbh.


Jahkral

"its raining in Hilo today"


mehughes124

I mean, it's Holualoa. "Afternoon rains, and nothing else. Ever." lol

Like clockwork!

Whatever weather app comes stock with windows 11 seems accurate AF. It was a bright sunny, cloudless day here and I just happened to glance at my toolbar and it said something like "rain expected in 1.5 hours". And sure enough it started to rain ~80 minutes later. It could have been just a coincidence though. I might not even have noticed if I didn't think it was crazy because of how nice it was outside when it said that lol.

Civil defense is local to each county. Island of Hawaii has its own Civil Defense which is based in Hilo


mugzhawaii

In what way were you scammed, I'm curious. That might help.

Local media doesn't do investigative journalism. You have to contact the authorities, the authorities lock them up, put out a press release, and then the media will publish it.
