KIUC told KITV it had restored about 76 percent of members by Saturday. [1] Friday this paper printed seventy-three percent. Saturday the percentage moved. The North Shore did not.
Pockets in Anahola, Kapa'a, and Po'ipu stayed dark. [1] Mutual-aid crews were still arriving. Arriving is not arrived. A lit civic building is not a lit Hanalei. Print 76 percent. Do not print a recovered island.
Seventy-six is not seventy-three, and it is not a finished north. KITV's Saturday file is a utility percentage, not a county declaration and not a FEMA number. A three-point move is a three-point move. It is not an all-clear.
Later percentages belong to later editions. Saturday's clock stops at 76 and at the named dark pockets. Do not spend a Sunday remainder. Do not spend a Monday restore. Print Saturday's 76. Leave Kokee and the North Shore in the dark file they still occupy.
A hurricane recovery that still needs arriving crews is still a recovery in progress. Lowell is not Iniki. Friday's calendar rhyme does not light Saturday's north. Print the utility. Print the pockets. Leave a lit coast to the edition that owns a lit coast.
