@EAducator Apologies, you're correct. The fire has since been pushed away from homes, but two were destroyed by the fire. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

I’m thankful that crews were able to push the fire away from homes, but resources are still being deployed to fight the fire. So far, about 40,000 acres have been burned. Follow @HIMayorMitch for the latest updates. — PolitiTweet.org

If you haven’t already done so – please get vaccinated. It’s one of the best ways to protect your family, friends, and our community. Wear your masks and continue social distancing. Let’s end this pandemic together. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

Today @hawaiidoh reported 622 COVID cases statewide. I want to remind everyone that there was a lag in reporting, so these numbers stretch over the last few days. However – this does remind us that we need to remain vigilant, and this pandemic is not over. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

If you haven’t already – I encourage you to get vaccinated or learn more from trusted sources. It could make a difference in keeping your family and friends safe. And a big Thank You to our healthcare workers who continue to take care of our community when we need it most. (3/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Tibayan was still deciding whether to get vaccinated when he became ill. He later said about the medical staff "...they educated me a lot. If I was educated like that from the beginning, I would have taken a vaccination much earlier. Now I have to wait four to six months." (2/3) — PolitiTweet.org

I recently saw a story in the @HITribuneHerald of a Puna man, Frederick Tibayan, who was hospitalized for 49 days after battling COVID-19. I am thankful he survived – and am saddened because many others have not. (1/3) https://t.co/QxW93phHtS — PolitiTweet.org

FINAL UPDATE: Tsunami Watch canceled for Hawaii following a magnitude 8.1 earthquake off Alaska earlier tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

UPDATE: While Tsunami Watch still in effect - tsunami waves forecasted to be less than 0.3 meters above tide level for Hawaii and several other coasts. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

Hawaii remains under a Tsunami Watch - which means tsunami activity may be possible later. We’re not (yet) at a warning level - which would mean tsunami activity is imminent. Stay tuned for the latest updates. — PolitiTweet.org

Law enforcement and community members have been out in force at Laniakea beach recently to protect Hawaiʻi’s wildlife. This comes after reports of visitors touching and harassing Hawaiian monk seals and turtles. https://t.co/qoyEfABoIm — PolitiTweet.org
