Kauai marked Hurricane Iniki's 34th anniversary on Friday while restoring after Lowell. [1] Hawaii News Now filed the calendar beside the recovery. [1] This paper printed seventy-three percent and more than 9,000 still dark. A calendar date is not an impact study. Print the rhyme. Do not print a new storm.

Lowell is not Iniki. Friday's 73 percent is Lowell's utility file, not 1992. Do not stitch surge in Poipu to Iniki's landfall as a second storm. Print Friday's calendar. Leave a later percentage to the edition that owns a later percentage.

A 34th anniversary remains a calendar rhyme on this desk. Friday recap that treats Iniki as Lowell is the error this page exists to block.

Saturday can recap; Friday prints the rhyme.
Anniversaries arrive on schedule whether or not storms cooperate. Iniki's fell mid-recovery, doubling the coverage. Friday's newscasts carried both dates at once.

Calendar rhymes comfort; recovery percentages don't. Friday's double coverage serves both. The island reads both dates.

Both dates, one island: Friday's newscasts carry both. Rhymes comfort. Percentages wait on later clocks.

Iniki's anniversary fell mid-recovery, doubling the coverage. Friday's newscasts carried 1992 and Lowell at once. Calendar rhymes comfort; 73 percent does not.

1992 arrives every September whether Lowell is on the island or not. Friday's Iniki coverage is a date, not a second landfall. Poipu surge belongs to Lowell's file. The 34th anniversary is a calendar item beside Lowell's restore, not 1992 returned.
Friday's calendar is Iniki, not a second landfall. Poipu surge belongs to Lowell's file. Calendar rhymes comfort; 73 percent does not.

Poipu surge belongs to Lowell's file. Calendar rhymes comfort; 73 percent does not. Friday's Iniki calendar is not a second landfall.
