trees going down 1/2/2014

[freespirit]

Nanawale - some trees down and power went out about 9PM last night until around 6 this AM. Must have been on one of the same lines as Leilani??

mauka Puna may now be located in an adjacent district. ...what a mess, blanket of leaves and branches to be composted with the mower. canopy tent looks dramatically collapsed and trashed, though closer inspection reveals replacement of 2 poles should do the trick. all calm now, native birds chirping away.

Leilani roads are mostly open now thanks to our CERT and Neighborhood Watch folks. Lower Kahukai just off Leilani Ave. is blocked with lines down and HELCO has it on a pretty long list of repairs to do.

Generally speaking, for me here in Eden Roc, more damage than Iselle. I have a lot of dead Ohia snags here that made it through Iselle but a couple broke last night. I have a 24' fence top rail holding up my TV antenna. I really expected that to break but it seems to have survived. All TV channels were off last night.

Punchline:

By 11 a.m., however, power was restored to the majority of customers on the west side of the island

West side power must be easier to restore, or something.

Power still out in Orchidland. How is everybody else faring?

Must be very localized - friends by Pohaku have power.

whew, i still have trees down from iselle to clear and last nite lost another big ohia to the winds. i guess being on a high point in the acres has its cons along with the pros.... sure hate to lose these ohia but my, what shallow roots.

Still no power on 40th in Orchidland (not just us, checked with neighbors). Tried calling HellCo, line is always busy. Has anybody else heard anything?
