TL;DR

KITV files 76 percent on Saturday, up from Friday's 73, with North Shore still dark.

MSM Perspective

KITV files 76 percent restored and named pockets still dark.

X Perspective

Island feeds treat 76 percent as the storm being over.

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.

KITV's member figure moved three points from Friday while the north stayed unnamed as restored. Downtown lights are not Hanalei. Mutual-aid still inbound is not a finished crew list. This page stops at seventy-six percent.
Downtown lights are not Hanalei. The north stayed unnamed as restored. KITV moved three points from Friday, not the island.

The north stayed unnamed as restored. This page stops at seventy-six percent. Downtown lights are not Hanalei.
