Moiliili Caves Actualize Hawaii Five-0's Kuipeia E Ka Makani Apaa

Summary: Moiliili Caves, underground caverns the Hawaiian capital assails from above, avow awful actualities of Five-0's Kuipeia E Ka Makani Apaa Oct. 4, 2019.

Moiliili Caves, reef limestone caverns whose fragile ceilings are beneath the busy Hawaiian capital actualize Hawaii Five-0 action police procedural drama television series episode Kuipeia E Ka Makani Apaa Oct. 4, 2019.

Director Karen Gaviola and writers Talia Gonzalez and Bisanne Masoud bring a bomb in John McGarrett's (Ryan Bittle, William Sadler) toolbox into Season 10's second episode. The series' 220th episode overall concerns bomb-chasing yellow Labrador retriever Eddie (Eddie Aikau Chipperton), Hawaii Five-0 Task Force Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett's (Alex O'Loughlin) canine housemate. It deals with Hawaii Five-0 Task Force Officers Junior Reigns (Beulah Koale) and Tani Rey (Meaghan Rath) determining how to disengage from a dauntingly damaged tunnel.

Underground extrications evoke on the Hawaiian island of Oahu (from Hawaiian O'ahu, "the gathering place") the Moiliili (from Hawaiian Mō'ili'ili, contracted from Mo'o'ili'ili, "pebble lizard") Caves.

Mo'o'ili'ili figures as a water dragon that ancient Hawaiian volcano goddess Pele's (from Hawaiian pele, "lava") sister Hi'iaka (from Hawaiian hi'i, "hold" and aka, "embryo") felled.

The water dragon pieces gathered together into a hilly heap that generated Moiliili taro fields, Moiliili rice-growing community, Moiliili town and Moiliili neighborhood atop 11,700-plus-year-old limestone. Erosive water from heavy rainfall and from mountain runoff and erosively high winds harmed coral reefs that 25-foot (62-meter) lower sea levels no longer held underwater. The resulting limestone layers include rocky, silted bottoms below 1- to 5-foot- (0.31- to 1.52-meter-) high waters and 6- to 10-foot- (1.83- to 3.05-meter-) high ceilings.

Downward journeys of rusting pilings and tree roots through crumbling, fragile cave ceilings and of urban trash through the Varsity Place sewer grate jeopardize Moiliili Caves.

Manoa (from Hawaiian mānoa, "deep, solid, thick, vast") stream keeps water levels mid-shin- to neck-high and, from flash floods during rainfall events and stormwater runoff, higher.

Qi Chen, Yi-Leng Chen, Pao-Shin Chu, Donna Delparte, Jon Eischeid, Abby Frazier, Thomas Giambelluca and Jonathan Price log mean annual rainfall for seven main Hawaiian islands. They mapped Oahu with 8.03- to 29.53-inch (204- to 750-millimeter) coastal Keau to Makapuu Beach Park and 53.15- to 404.37-inch (1,350- to 10,271-millimeter) forest reserve means. They note on their 2013 map of Hawaii state rainfall patterns that all other Oahuan niches net 29.53- to 53.15-inch (750- to 1,350-millimeter) annual rainfall means.

The 360.89-foot (110-meter-) long Moiliili Caves occur under four wedge-organizing 0.62-mile (1-kilometer) cardinal orientations overlapping with Kapriolani Boulevard, Moiliili quarry, South King Street and University Avenue.

The H-1 freeway passes through Honolulu's ("bay shelter") Moiliili neighborhood, where Kamehameha ("the one set apart") Schools, as largest property owner, possesses 11.37 acres (4.6 hectares).

The University of Hawaii athletic field and university student housing at Manoa quicken downward pressures on Moiliili Caves, whose 20th-century geo-history queues up collapses and sinkholes. Kanewai ("eastern skyman's water"), Manoa, Palolo ("clay") and Punahou ("new spring") watershed runoff; 1921-1928 Ala Wai ("fresh waterway") drainage canal; and 1934 cave-ins ravage Moliili Caves. Fog drip, leeward rainfall and surface runoff within 21st-century successors to the 2,000-plus-acre (809.37-hectare) Waikiki ("spurting water") ahupua'a ("[boundary-marking] heaped pig [sacrifice]") seep into Moiliili Caves.

Moiliili Caves at a 22.96-foot (7-meter) altitude below sea level, like the troubled tunnel that traps Junior and Tani, temporarily tolerate terrorism, toxins, trash and trauma.
