KIUC said more than 9,000 members still lacked power Friday while about 73 percent were restored. [1] This paper printed both numbers. A remainder is not a recovered island. Print 9,000 dark. Do not print a finished north.

The North Shore wait is the adjoining page. Green's FEMA ask is not this count. Later percentages belong to later editions. Friday's clock stops at 9,000 and at 73.

Friday recap that treats 73 percent as the 9,000 already lit is a feed, not Star-Advertiser. Print 9,000. Print waiting.

Nine thousand dark remains Friday's named remainder. Later percentages belong to later editions. Friday is not a finished north. Print 9,000 as still dark on this desk.
Seventy-three percent does not light the 9,000.
Seventy-three percent and 9,000 dark coexist because they count different things. Friday holds both numbers without merging them. The north stays dark in either count.

Two numbers, one island: percentages measure progress, remainders measure people. Friday measures both. The north waits in either.

Northern remainders wait in either count; Friday holds 73 percent and 9,000 dark. Percentages measure progress. People measure the rest.

Friday holds 73 percent and 9,000 dark. Percentages measure progress. People measure the rest.

KIUC still counts more than 9,000 members without power on Friday. Seventy-three percent restored leaves those accounts unlit. Star-Advertiser filed both figures without calling the island finished. The FEMA request lives on another desk entirely.
Seventy-three percent restored leaves those accounts unlit. More than 9,000 stay dark. The island is not finished.
