He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- Its name means “place of noise,” as it is said that in ancient Hawaii, before the development of modern-day things that drown out the sounds of nature, like cars and electricity, one could hear the roar of the ocean as the sound traveled between the two mountain ranges.
- Mostly just a place to drive through as visitors head to the famous beaches on the island of Oahu, right now it is surely not to be missed, as it is filled with smoke and flying ash from two major brush fires.
- An initial brush fire began on Saturday in the hills of Wahiawa known simply as the “heights” about a mile away from the highest homes in the area.
