Governor Josh Green visited Kauai on Wednesday and put hurricane damage above $400 million, with roughly 84 percent of the island still without power. [1] Tuesday this paper printed a sideswipe that took the lights. Wednesday the lights are a restoration problem with a dollar sign.

Hawaii News Now recorded the White House/FEMA ask and the promise of mutual aid. [1] A request is not a declaration. 84 percent dark is still the operating number. Print it as Green's, not a merged co-op ledger. North Shore waits. A hospital coming online is a separate sentence from houses.

Later copy that a quarter had power belongs in a companion if the timestamp is still the 9th. It is not this visit clock. Do not spend a later restore percentage that belongs to a later edition.

Print the visit. Print $400 million. Print 84 percent dark. Do not print a recovered Kauai.

Visits precede money; Green's visit precedes the surveys. Wednesday's visit is the story. Money follows assessments.

Assessments follow visits; Wednesday's story is Green's $400 million with 84 percent dark. Not a recovered Kauai. Thursday's restore is another clock.

Kauai's outage still wears a governor's price tag after the island stop. Four hundred million is Green's figure, not a surveyed total. Eighty-four percent dark is the share attached to that visit. Later restore math stays off this Wednesday file.
