Supporting our ʻOhana on Hawaiʻi Island and Kauaʻi
Following Hurricane Lowell’s passage, our hearts are with our ʻOhana across Hawaiʻi Island and Kauaʻi. Monday night’s fierce winds, heavy rain, and dangerous surf delivered significant impacts, particularly to Kauaʻi and Niʻihau. Widespread damage, including compromised homes, businesses, and roadways, has been reported, alongside extensive power outages. While the storm has now moved west, recovery efforts are underway to address flooding and impacted stream levels. Hanalei, in particular, experienced an astounding 28 inches of rain, as detailed in a recent Honolulu Star-Advertiser report. We are committed to supporting our community through this challenging time and will continue to share updates as they become available.
