Star-Advertiser put more than 50,000 customers in the dark on Kauai and Oahu. [1] Keep the islands. Kauai's 90 percent is the co-op hurricane product. Oahu's customers are not that 90. Print the split. Do not merge the grids.

Yesterday Oahu sat under a tropical storm warning. Today Kauai is the story. Leave Wednesday's 84 to Wednesday. Print Oahu separate. Print Kauai's 90.

Print the split. Tuesday is not one island. Fifty thousand-plus is a combined count, not Kauai's 90. Keep Oahu off the co-op hurricane product. Print the split as the named Tuesday hold. Hawaiian Electric's Oahu customers are not KIUC's 90. Print two islands as the named Tuesday hold. A tropical storm warning yesterday is still not Kauai's 90.
