Hurricane Lowell knocks out a port in Hawaii that is one island's main source for food and fuel
Crews are repairing Lānaʻi’s only cargo port after the storm opened a sinkhole and damaged the pier, while power is being restored on Kauaʻi.
- On Tuesday, Hurricane Lowell damaged Kauai's oceanfront resorts and rendered Lanai's only cargo harbor inoperable, disrupting food and fuel supplies for the island's 3,300 residents.
- Two deaths were linked to the storm, including a 74-year-old man found near the shoreline on Kauai Wednesday and a homeless man killed on Oahu Monday when a tree fell on his tent.
- Power was knocked out to many of Kauai's 73,000 residents on Tuesday, but electricity is returning; just under 16,000 customers remained without power Thursday as crews cleared debris from roads and utility poles.
- Democratic Gov. Josh Green asked President Donald Trump on Wednesday to issue a major disaster declaration to expedite federal aid for Kauai and Maui counties.
- Caroline Anderson, interim president and chief executive officer of the Tourism Authority, noted that adjusting itineraries supports the visitor economy as officials urge travelers to reschedule trips.
