## Resource

West Oʻahu’s Farrington Highway was shut down by debris and high surf from Hurricane Lowell, causing massive traffic backups. In Mākaha, storm surges flooded homes and dumped sand, coral, and boulders onto properties—waves hit 22 feet, wrecked buildings, knocked out cameras, and left residents on generators with damaged freezers. Cleanup is underway as locals brace for future storms and assess tens of thousands in damages. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
