A Hurricane That Missed Hawaii Hit It Anyway
No landfall, no direct hit — yet 30-foot surf, 20 inches of rain and a near-total blackout left Kauai with two dead and a $400 million scar.
O que sabíamos inicialmente
- 92 mphPeak land gust at Puu Lua
- 20-30 ftSurf on south Kauai shores
- ~33,000KIUC customers lost power
- $400M+Kauai damage estimate
- Hawaii's first-ever tornado watch issued for Kauai and Niihau
- Center passes about 40 miles west of Niihau
Então ainda em aberto
- No tornado has been officially confirmed, including the possible Koloa event
- Final damage total and full restoration dates for isolated Kauai areas remain unknown
O que dissemos que iríamos acompanhar
- Whether the federal disaster declaration is approved for Kauai and Maui counties
- Whether the shoreline assessment lifts the damage estimate higher once power returns
