At one time, I lived on the ridge overlooking Palolo Valley. There's a really neat extinct volcanic crater in the back of the valley, and with binocs, sometimes you can make out wild pigs (that's pronounced "peeeegs"). If you count vertical distance, that maybe 1 1/2 miles. The Honolulu fall smacked into Honolulu's downtown and harbor area, about 5 miles from Wilhelmina Rise (the ridge.) Now, however, I live 110 miles from the nearest fall site, with ocean in between; too bad.
There's also an unconfirmed fall from 1966, when a meteorite supposedly clipped a metal ladder on the outside of one of the obervatories on top of Haleakala, but was immediately lost in the surrounding cinders. Wonder how dey figger it was a meteorite, when they nevah spot da buggah!
