Hurricane non-event in Kihei and South Maui region —
We had another hurricane alert last week, but in South Maui (Wailea-Kihei-Makena) it turned out to be a non-event like the previous one earlier in August (2018). In general since Kihei is a sunny leeward area it tends to have very mild weather. However other parts of Maui had flooding, even though where I am there was virtually no rain. It helps that Kihei was mostly developed in the 1980’s so there is pretty modern infrastructure based on solid building codes that didn’t exist or weren’t enforced in earlier times for example in the 1930’s when a lot of Hana and other areas were developed due to agricultural activity and cattle ranching in those areas.
There is also something called “kuleana lands” where native Hawaiians are allowed to build shacks with no building code enforcement, based on historical land grants from the hawaiian kings in the 1850’s. Naturally those no-code structures tend to get swept away in storms. But the hawaiians like the flexibility of being able to build what they want without interference from the County enforcement building inspectors etc. The net net is, Kihei suffers almost no effect from these “weather” situations as a rule. At least for the last few hundred years that people are aware of. Keep your fingers crossed, and be prepared to help our fellow islanders in less protected parts of Maui!
New SSL certificates: in the interest of providing better internet security for our real estate visitors we have installed SSL Certificates, which are small data files on our web site https://petergelsey.com that digitally bind a cryptographic key to the Wailea Makena Real Estate Inc. organization’s details. When installed on a web server, it activates the padlock and the https protocol and allows secure connections from a web server to a browser. Typically, SSL is used to secure credit card transactions, data transfer and logins, and more recently is becoming the norm when securing browsing of social media sites.
SSL Certificates bind together:
A domain name, server name or hostname.
An organizational identity (i.e. company name) and location.
What is an SSL Certificate?
SSL Certificates are small data files that digitally bind a cryptographic key to an organization’s details. When installed on a web server, it activates the padlock and the https protocol and allows secure connections from a web server to a browser. Typically, SSL is used to secure credit card transactions, data transfer and logins, and more recently is becoming the norm when securing browsing of social media sites.
An organization needs to install the SSL Certificate onto its web server to initiate a secure session with browsers. Once a secure connection is established, all web traffic between the web server and the web browser will be secure.
When a certificate is successfully installed on the server, the application protocol (also known as HTTP) will change to HTTPs, where the ‘S’ stands for ‘secure’. Your browser will show a padlock or green bar in the browser when you visit a website like https://petergelsey.com that has an SSL Certificate installed.
