A visitor who filmed herself walking past locked gates into a closed Maui park has drawn heavy backlash and faces possible fines, in a story that has reopened tensions between Hawaii residents and tourists.

• Nuri Abdullah entered Waianapanapa State Park in Hana in late September while it was closed for Hurricane Nolo, going around a locked gate and warning signs.
• She filmed herself saying she did not care about the closure and posted it on social media, where it went viral.
• Breaking a park closure like this can bring a fine of several hundred to a couple thousand dollars and up to a month in jail.
• Her apology two days later landed badly locally, partly because she paired it with angry words for people criticizing her.
• State land officials say the park holds important cultural sites and that respect is the condition for sharing it with visitors.

Outlook: State officials are weighing whether to issue a citation, and the case is likely to fuel more pressure for stricter enforcement at Hawaii's cultural sites.
