## Resource

Hurricane Lowell left Kauai in shambles—32,529 customers still without power after 417 outages. The Kauai Island Utility Cooperative is racing to restore electricity, having already brought light back to 466 homes in Eleele and Hanapepe. With helicopter flyovers, drone scans, and ground crews assessing damage, they’re prioritizing critical infrastructure and transmission lines first, hoping to tackle distribution lines by week’s end. The storm tore through equipment—from substations to their own power units—and the full scope of damage is still unfolding. This is a massive, high-stakes recovery effort with lights on the line for everyone. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
