MAUI COUNTY: 2,160 customers across 137 outages. KAUAI: 182 of 36,341 customers across 45 outages. STATEWIDE: 47,586 customers without power across 1,233 outages, adding the totals each utility published. That is 27,490 fewer than at 12:27 AM, and our lowest reading since Sunday morning. OAHU IS THE OVERNIGHT STORY. It went from 41,730 at midnight to 17,497 now, and Hawaiian Electric put it near 42,450 as of 7 PM last night. More than half of what was left on Oahu came back while people slept. Their 8 PM update said crews would spend the night on pole repairs and neighborhood distribution inspections. THE BIG ISLAND IS NOW THE LARGEST OUTAGE IN THE STATE, above Oahu for the first time since we started reading these maps Sunday morning. Hawaiian Electric lists the outages in Puna, North and South Kona, North and South Kohala, Hamakua and South Hilo, with about 25 assessment teams working Kohala, Upper Puna, Honokaa and South Kona today. MAUI COUNTY IS DOWN TO 2,160, from about 6,000 at 7 PM by Hawaiian Electric's count and 28,750 at the worst of it Sunday. Crews worked Kula overnight. KAUAI IS 182, up 43 from midnight. Kauai is served by KIUC, not Hawaiian Electric. Off the peak of 219,904 on Sunday, about 172,000 customers have been restored. CUSTOMERS FROM SALT LAKE TO EAST HONOLULU ARE STILL ASKED TO CONSERVE POWER TODAY. STILL NO COMPLETION ESTIMATE. Hawaiian Electric is finishing damage assessments before projecting one. THESE NUMBERS ARE ONLY AS OF 8:20 AM AND CHANGE CONSTANTLY. In their words, the counts "represent a snapshot in time and change often as additional customers are restored and more outages occur, sometimes in the same area." The maps update every 15 minutes. Check Hawaiian Electric or KIUC directly for current outages. Report your outage so crews know your location. Hawaiian Electric: 1-855-304-1212. KIUC: (808) 246-4300. Treat every downed line as energized and dangerous. 🌀 sshsearch.com/weather #hawaii #poweroutage #oahu #kauai #maui #bigisland
