KIUC's Monday 81 percent still left the North Shore in a days-away window. [1] Kilauea, Princeville, and Hanalei remain the hard file. Days away is not restored. A lit Lihue is not a lit north.

Print waiting. Do not print recovered. Leave a lit North Shore to the edition that owns a lit coast.

No county sentence that Hanalei is lit is in Monday copy, so days away remains the North Shore word.
Days away on the North Shore is still days away. Monday recap that treats 81 percent as Hanalei lit is a feed, not KIUC.
No lit-Hanalei sentence is in Monday's cooperative copy.
Monday is not a lit Hanalei.
Print waiting. Do not print recovered north.
No Monday Hanalei restore bulletin is in the stack.
The North Shore's reprieve has a named shape: Kilauea first, then Princeville, then Hanalei, as crews work the transmission line north. Days away is a sequence, not a shrug. Each town gets its own bulletin when its lights return; none has one yet.

The cooperative's percentage is a system average, which is why it can climb while three named towns remain dark. Transmission rebuilds move at the speed of access roads and spare poles, not at the speed of a press conference. Those towns will light when the spine is continuous, not when the island's share looks respectable.

Three named towns remain dark at 81 percent restored. Transmission rebuilds move at the speed of access roads. A respectable island share does not light the north.

Monday's 81 percent still leaves the north dark. Those towns will light when the spine is continuous. Monday's 81 percent still leaves Hanalei dark.
