What happened

Tropical Storm Moke set to dump more heavy rain on hurricane-stricken Hawaii HONOLULU (AP) — Tropical Storm Moke was swirling past Hawaii on Sunday, close enough to dump heavy rain on Big Island communities in the aftermath of Hurricane Lala.

Why it matters

The National Hurricane Center located Moke’s center about 320 miles (515 kilometers) south-southwest of Hilo around midday.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: Condé Nast Traveler flipped into The Traveler.

Claim 1: “Condé Nast Traveler flipped into The Traveler”
DISPUTED
Evidence shows Condé Nast Traveler continues to operate under its original name across multiple platforms (web, Instagram, and Wikipedia). There is no evidence of a rebrand to 'The Traveler'; the only similar name found is 'The Reluctant Traveler', which is a separate Apple TV+ series.
