Hawaiian Electric restored power to more than 1,500 customers overnight across Maui County, Hawaii Island and Oahu after a Kona low storm. About 3,230 customers remained without power as of 9 a.m., primarily on Hawaii Island. On Hawaii Island, about 2,400 customers were still without power in areas including Kapoho, Mountain View and Hawaiian Paradise Park. In East Maui, about 70 customers were being told to plan for extended outages that could last several more days, pending weather conditions later this week. Hawaiian Electric said repair work has been slowed in some areas by fallen trees, debris and hazardous conditions affecting overhead and underground electrical infrastructure.
