KIUC said about 73 percent of members had power Friday, with more than 9,000 still dark. [1] Thursday this paper printed a first quarter restored. Friday the percentage moved. The North Shore did not.
The date is also Iniki's 34th anniversary. [1] A calendar rhyme is not an impact survey. Mayor Kawakami said Lowell did less overall damage than Iniki and still named surge in Poipu, Port Allen, Kekaha. [1] That comparison belongs beside the calendar, not as a recovered island.
Print 73 percent. Print more than 9,000 dark. Do not print a recovered north. Later percentages belong to later editions. Friday's clock stops at 73 and at the named wait.
A hurricane recovery that still leaves thousands dark is still in progress. Mutual-aid arriving is not finished. Green's federal ask is not a FEMA number. Print the utility. Leave a lit coast to the edition that owns a lit coast.
In-progress recoveries photograph as work, not triumph; Friday's work continues. Crews climb. The north waits.
Northern waits stay dark; Friday's 73 percent still leaves 9,000 without power. Crews climb. A lit coast belongs later.
