Hawaiian Electric reports 5,500 customers without power after Kona Low storm

Hawaiian Electric restored more than 1,500 customers overnight as recovery continues from a Kona Low storm system that caused flooding, mud, landslides and blocked roadways. About 5,500 customers remained without power across Maui, Hawaii Island and Oahu. On Maui, about 975 customers were still without electricity, with roughly 240 in East Maui expecting outages that could last several more days due to damaged poles and downed lines. On Hawaii Island, about 3,700 customers remained without power, mostly in Puna, after high winds damaged or broke up to 50 poles and downed multiple spans of power lines.
