STORY SUMMARY

HAWAII ISLAND - A Flash Flood Warning remains in effect for East Hawaii, as rain from former Hurricane Lane continues to soak the Big Island.

10:24 p.m. by the National Weather Service – A Flood Advisory has been issued for parts of Hawai‘i Island until 1:15 a.m. HST. Forecasters stated:

At 1019 PM HST, radar indicated moderate to locally heavy rain over the South Hilo, Puna and Ka‘u districts. Rainfall rates near one inch per hour are occurring in the lower Puna district, and a large area of moderate rain is moving into the Ka‘u district from Paauau to South Point. Rain is likely to continue across much of the advisory area through the night, and more widespread heavy rains may redevelop at any time.

This advisory replaces the previously issued flash flood warning that was in effect for portions of the island of Hawaii in Hawaii County.

9:15 p.m. by the Hawai‘i Electric Light Company – Power restored to all customers on Reeds Island at around 8:30 p.m. As a reminder, if you experience an outage please report it to our 24/7 trouble line at 808-969-6666, HELCO says.
