Weather Alert in Oahu
WEATHER ALERT: Reposting from Hawaiian Electric 9p #OahuOutage update: With severe weather moving across the islands, we encourage customers to stay safe. Do NOT approach downed power lines. To report a downed power line, call our 24/7 trouble line at 1-855-304-1212. For emergencies, please call 911. Oahu: About 58,300 customers, or 19% of total customers, are without electricity in various locations including parts of Ewa, Makakilo, Waipio, Waipahu, Wahiawa, Waianae/Nanakuli, Laie, Kahuku, Mililani, Kaneohe, Kailua, Hawaii Kai, Kaimuki/Kahala, Manoa, Nuuanu and Waikiki. Earlier today, after large trees had taken down power poles and lines in Mililani, crews were able to clear the debris and make repairs, allowing roughly 10,000 customers to regain power. • Maui County: About 7,300 customers, or 10% of total customers, remain out in various areas, including Upcountry, South, and East Maui. Crews restored more than half of the 20,000 customers impacted by the storm across the county throughout the day. Damage assessments and potential repairs are being stalled due to flash flooding, downed trees, and road closures like the one caused by a massive sinkhole in South Maui. • Hawaii Island: About 20,400 customers, or 22% of total customers, are without power in areas being impacted by strong winds, thunderstorms and heavy rain including Puna, South Point, and North and South Kona. The majority of the outages are in the Puna area. To report an outage, go to: http://hwnelec.co/ga9j50Yuk6h. Stay safe and monitor weather conditions.
