Stormy weather slows HECO power restoration across Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Island
HECO says severe storms across Oahu, Maui County, and Hawaii Island are delaying power restoration, with roughly 114,000 customers still without power as crews repair damaged transmission lines, downed trees, and flooding; about 186,000 had already been re-energized by 5 p.m., and officials warn outages could last hours to days as terrain and safety concerns complicate repairs.
