HILO, February 14, 2015 (6:00 p.m.) – Hawaii Electric Light crews continue to respond to outages caused by windy conditions affecting Hawaii Island yesterday and today.
As of 5:30 p.m., an estimated 5,000 customers are without power in portions of Hawaiian Paradise Park, Orchidland, Ainaloa, Hawaiian Beaches, Hawaiian Shores, Kapoho, Nanawale, Leilani Estates, Fern Forest, Fern Acres, Hawaiian Acres, Eden Roc, Aloha Estates, Volcano Village, Hawi, Wood Valley, Hilo, and Waimea.
In some areas, strong winds toppled trees and caused extensive damage to power lines and utility poles. Ongoing windy conditions make it unsafe for tree trimmers to clear roadways and for crews to conduct assessments and make repairs. Customers in Hawaiian Beaches, Hawaiian Shores, Kapoho, Nanawale, and Leilani Estates are advised to prepare for extended outages which could last into next week and in some areas, much longer.
