Maui residents&#8217; top issues were affordable housing, traffic and public education. On Kauai, traffic was first, followed by environmental concerns and crime\/public safety.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-many-serial-killers-are-in-hawaii\"><\/span>How many serial killers are in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Serial Killers in Hawaii The Strangler became the second-known of up to ten serial killers active in the state. The first known Hawaii serial killer was Eugene Barrett, who killed at least three women between 1959 and 1995.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-should-i-avoid-in-hawaii\"><\/span>What should I avoid in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t stand next to the blowhole&#8230; Don&#8217;t eat at a chain restaurant&#8230; Don&#8217;t let a commercial luau be your only exposure to Hawaiian culture&#8230; Don&#8217;t limit your visit to O\u02bbahu&#8230; And don&#8217;t avoid the Island of Hawai\u02bbi&#8230; Don&#8217;t only stay in resort towns&#8230; Don&#8217;t hike illegally or start a hike late in the day.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-hawaiians-not-like-tourists\"><\/span>Do Hawaiians not like tourists?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Compounded together, it makes sense that attitudes toward tourism have become more and more negative, hence the calls for a decrease in travel. According to the 2021 Hawaii Tourism Authority&#8217;s Resident Sentiment Survey, only 53 percent of Hawaiians feel that tourism has been more beneficial than harmful.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-drink-tap-water-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Can you drink tap water in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, it is safe to drink and use tap water on the island of Oahu including in Waikiki. The Board of Water Supply in Hawaii works in conjunction with State and Federal agencies, such as the U.S Environmental Protection Agency and Hawaii State Department of Health, to ensure the water in Hawaii is safe to drink.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-is-the-safest-place-to-live-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Where is the safest place to live in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Finishing up the list of the safest places to live in Hawaii is Kapolei, Oahu..Here Are The 10 Safest &#038; Most Peaceful Places To Live In Hawaii<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-there-high-crime-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Is there high crime in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Hawaii has the 41st lowest total crime rate of all states, it has the 17th lowest violent crime rate. The state&#8217;s violent crime rate of 285 per 100,000 people is lower than the national rate of 379 per 100,000. There were 4,042 violent crimes reported to Hawaii law enforcement agencies in 2019.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-nicest-city-in-hawaii\"><\/span>What is the nicest city in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The 5 Best Towns in Hawaii<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-hawaii-safe-from-hurricanes\"><\/span>Is Hawaii safe from hurricanes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We have had hurricane scares for decades, but nothing substantial has hit our shores for quite some time. The most recent hurricane to hit any of the major islands of Hawaii was Hurricane Iniki (see video below), which hit the island of Kauai in September of 1992, right in the middle of Hawaii hurricane season.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-hawaii-get-cold\"><\/span>Does Hawaii get cold?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Seasons and Weather Hawaii has only two seasons, which Hawaiian natives have named Hoolio and Kau. These refer to winter and summer, respectively, but even during Hawaii winter weather, temperatures rarely drop below 75\u00b0F, which means the island offers an ideal climate for most individuals year-round.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-hawaii-get-snow\"><\/span>Does Hawaii get snow?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Does it snow in Hawaii? The answer is yes, although only on top of the highest peaks on Maui and the Big Island. Every winter, storm systems bring frequent snow storms to elevations generally above 11,000 feet. This means that only Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are impacted.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-tsunamis-hit-hawaii\"><\/span>Do tsunamis hit Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A tsunami picks up and carries debris, which greatly increases the chance of injury, property destruction, and death. Since 1946, more than 220 people have died in the State of Hawaii, including six on Oahu, due to tsunamis.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-hawaii-sink\"><\/span>Can Hawaii sink?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The islands don&#8217;t last forever. As the Pacific plate moves Hawaii&#8217;s volcanoes farther from the hotspot, they erupt less frequently, then no longer tap into the upwelling of molten rock and die. The island erodes and the crust beneath it cools, shrinks and sinks, and the island is again submerged.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-they-have-snakes-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Do they have snakes in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>But even amid all this natural diplomacy, one of the biggest questions visitors ask is: Are there snakes in Hawaii? Technically, yes\u2014but not necessarily in the way you&#8217;re probably thinking of. Hawaii is home to the Brahminy Blind Snake, a diminutive black snake that has a penchant for gardens.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"has-there-ever-been-a-tornado-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Has there ever been a tornado in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hawaii has only received 40 confirmed tornadoes in its history, and no deaths have been associated with them. Their most costly tornado occurred on Jan. 28, 1971, with around $2.5 million worth of damages.
