Indo-Pacific Destroyer Suffers Hours-Long Power Outage; Crew Safe

A US Navy Arleigh Burke–class destroyer, USS Higgins, experienced an electrical casualty that caused a loss of power and propulsion for several hours in the Indo-Pacific. The outage left the ship electronically blind and immobile, with a crew of about 300; there were no injuries. Initial reports point to an electrical malfunction with possible sparking or smoke that ceased after power was removed. Power and propulsion have since been restored, but the exact location within the Indo-Pacific region and the cause remain under investigation.

Kona-low floods Oahu as Wahiawa Dam danger triggers North Shore evacuations

Oahu remains under a flash flood warning with a flash flood emergency on the North Shore as a Kona-low storm system dumps heavy rain statewide. Authorities say Wahiawa Dam is at imminent risk of failure, prompting evacuations downstream in Waialua and Haleiwa and the opening of multiple shelters. The Hawaii National Guard, Coast Guard, and Army personnel are assisting with rescues and evacuations, and power outages have affected thousands in evacuation zones. Forecasters warn more heavy rain is possible, and a statewide flood watch and additional advisories extend through the weekend, with Maui also under flood advisories and Hawaii Island facing a winter-storm watch for the peaks.

He hinted at “taking” or potentially intervening in the country, signaling a tougher stance even as Cuban-American activists press for regime change and U.S. pressure on Havana intensifies after Venezuela cut fuel support.
