Honolulu First
Finally a first for Honolulu on the plus side as opposed to the usual dismal first concerning taxes, poor business climate and the like. In the wake of the disaster in New Orleans Forbes came up with a list of the safest and the least safe places to live in the country. NewsMax reports:

While Hawaii is susceptible to hurricanes they don’t happen with enough frequency to skew the numbers against Honolulu by comparison, as the article makes clear.
