Mayor Derek Kawakami said Lowell did less overall damage than Iniki while still naming surge in Poipu, Port Allen, and Kekaha. [1] KHON2 filed the reflection on Friday. [1] This paper printed seventy-three percent. Less than Iniki is not a recovered island. Print the comparison. Do not print an all-clear.

A mayor's sentence is a mayor's sentence. It is not a FEMA number. It is not a lit Hanalei. The North Shore wait remains the utility's wait. Print Kawakami. Leave a later restore percentage to the edition that owns one.

Friday recap that treats a comparison as the storm being over is a feed, not KHON2. Print less-than-Iniki as the mayor's word. Do not invent a finished north.

Saturday can recap; Friday prints the comparison.
