Flying from Mississippi to Hawaii yesterday it was mostly clear until we got about 300 miles out from the islands. Scattered clouds became a layer at 22k feet that we skimmed across the top of. Checking satellite imagery it turned out to be an extended band from Hurricane Nolo. After crossing through that there were just smaller puffy clouds that looked interesting as we landed as the sun was setting in Kauai. Time lapse below:

@JustinCruzNEWS was "Jus Cruzin'" in Hilo for the generous Laulima donations with co-anchor Gina Mangieri, when, by chance, or some would say, the Lord's will, made it happen. In a completely random encounter, Justin buys a T-shirt from a pop-up vendor at a Hilo mall. The rest is history. youtu.be/BPaJ_KAanps?si=hRrR…
