What's Trending: corgi hiking guides, a hydrogen speed record, and a cyclone approaching Hawaii

Aug 12, 2026

A light roundup of local trending stories paired with a serious weather warning for Hawaii this weekend.

  • A business called Corgi Bliss uses 13 corgis as hiking guides on trails at a horse farm, running hikes through late October.
  • A hydrogen-powered car topped 400 miles an hour on Utah's Bonneville salt flats, setting a new world record for its class.
  • Retired UK pilot Andy Green drove it — the same man who broke the sound barrier on land in 1997 at 763 miles an hour.
  • A developing cyclone is heading toward Hawaii, bringing possible strong winds, heavy rain, and dangerous surf over the weekend.
  • Trade winds stay breezy and mostly dry through Friday before conditions turn, varying island to island.

Outlook: Hawaii should brace for severe weather and life-threatening surf along east and southeast shores as the cyclone closes in this weekend.
