1 min readfrom Kauai: The only island Kamehameha couldn't take by force.

Props to KIUC

Upper Kapahi. We lost power for like a couple hours yesterday and that was it. When it went out I was expecting it to be out for the rest of the day at least. I was amazed when it came back on and stayed on. My auntie saw the KIUC trucks out driving around during the worst of it. It wasn’t that long ago that if you sneezed the power would be out for half a day. I know south side got it worse but I’m impressed how well the grid handled this storm. Mahalo to the workers out in the storm trying to keep the lights on!
