Hawaii Electric has shut off power to about 4,100 customers on the North Shore of Oʻahu due to flooding on the island due to concerns about safety. The company has restored power to 560 customers in Hawaiian Acres, Mountain View, Nanawale, and Volcano from last week's outages. About 100 customers impacted by the storm remain without power. Emergency services are working to restore power to customers affected by the second storm, which could cause partially uprooted trees to fall on power lines or topple poles. Customers are urged to report low-hanging or downed power lines to the Hawaiian Electric Trouble Line.
