KIUC counted roughly 90 percent of members without power after Lowell's sideswipe. [1] Star-Advertiser filed more than 50,000 customers dark on Kauai and Oahu. [1] This paper already printed the sideswipe that took the lights. Ninety percent is a co-op count. It is not a landfall. Print 90. Do not print a recovered Kauai.

Oahu's customers in the dark are not Kauai's 90. Keep the islands. Leave Wednesday's 84 percent and a governor's later dollar figure to Wednesday. A few hundred restored in pockets does not lift the 90.

Print 90 percent. Tuesday is not Wednesday's restore clock. A sideswipe is still not a landfall. Keep Kauai's co-op number off Oahu's customers. Print 90 as the named Tuesday hold. Fifty thousand-plus is Star-Advertiser's combined count, not a landfall.
