Summary
Sixty-two-year-old rancher Eben Manini was stranded for over a week after Hurricane Lowell wrecked his Kauai property, but hope arrived with chainsaws — and a massive, multi-agency rescue effort. With fallen trees blocking the only road and an irrigation leak complicating cleanup, volunteers and government crews battled through days of debris to reach him — even as Eben himself had injured his back trying to help. Now that the road’s open and he can get medical care, repairs continue: cracked pipes, flooded roads, and downed fences remain. His son called it a triumph of teamwork — proof that when communities rally, no one’s left behind. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
