It was endemic to the island of Lanai , Hawaii in modern times, but seems to have occurred on all major islands of former Maui Nui before human settlement. The Maui Nui Akialoa was one of the birds that made up the group Akialoa. This group included the long billed birds that were from five inches to nine inches in length. What makes up to a third of their length was their bill which ranged from an inch in length, to two and a half. This species was the second largest of the Akialoas and was the most widespread. It once inhabited the islands of Lanai, Kahoolawe and Molokai but had vanished before scientists could see them alive on these islands. It was a greyish yellow bird that was found at mid altitude areas where it was seen pecking on bark in search or insects and seen pecking at flowers in search of nectar. The bird was six inches long, with a bill that was an inch and a half in length. It was a bird that was very fragile in nature and elusive. It was never found in high numbers and may have been on the verge of extinction on Maui just when the Europeans. The loss of the understory layer to pigs was a big hit to the last of the birds. If the land was cleared by pigs the land would have a forest floor layer made up of durable, pig resistant plant the Akialoa was not accompanied to. By t ... more details

When a nuclear weapon or a large amount of a conventional explosive is detonated in sufficiently humidity humid air, the negative phase of the shock wave causes a rarefaction reduction in density of the air surrounding the explosion, but not contained within it. This rarefaction results in a temporary cooling of that air, which causes a condensation of some of the water vapor contained in it. When the pressure and the temperature return to normal, the Wilson cloud dissipates. ref Glasstone, Samuel and Philip J. Dolan. The Effects of Nuclear Weapons , U.S. Dept. Of Defense Dept.
