Hawaiian Electric warns of extended outages as storms cut power to 8,800 Oahu customers

Hawaiian Electric crews and contractors are restoring power after severe thunderstorms and powerful winds disrupted service, affecting about 8,800 customers on Oahu. The company said customers on Oahu, Maui County, and Hawaii Island should plan for possible extended outages, including overnight. Restoration work may be delayed due to hazardous weather conditions and access issues such as flooding and debris. Hawaiian Electric reported that a lightning strike destroyed a pole along an Oahu transmission line, and repairs were continuing.
