3-19-2026 Pualani Storm
 Residents of Pualani Estates experienced one of the most powerful weather assaults in recent memory. Wind gusts were reported as high as 100MPH in the Kona area.
One homeowner reported trees "moaning in the night;" others reported destroyed lanai pottery, downed trees, flooded autos, and loose cattle on the streets in Pualani.
As of today, rain and flooding are predicted for the next few days. Those impacted have started to deal with the reality of disposing piles of debris and rubbish including those blown in from other areas.
Some areas seemed okay while others had damage that will take several days--maybe weeks--to recover. We anticipate the CCR committee will take this into consideration while owners return their properties to regulation standard. Mahalo to friends, ohana, and neighbors who go out of their way to help each other in the clean up.
Here are some pictures provided by residents and owners. If you would like to share your photos of the storm please feel free to e-mail them to us. Any photos received will not be returned and will be discarded once this article is removed.

2-5-2026 - You Give Because You Can
 A Pualani Estates ohana was recently featured in a Hawai`i Community Federal Credit Union newsletter for their journey from the kitchen to helping support their community.
It stems from a Hawaiian tradition of giving back to the 'Aina that many who are raised in Hawai`i learn from a very early age.
