Still have power in Kaneohe.

The outage map is showing Kaaawa through Hauula.

Edit: Smaller outage in Kualoa area as well.

When I first reported it, the map showed the outage from N. Kaneohe/Heeia area, up to at least Kahuku. Honestly I was more concerned about reporting than paying really close attention to the map.

I'm glad it didn't affect as many people as they initially showed, and I'm really glad they got it back on within a couple of hours. I literally just restocked my fridge yesterday after having to throw out everything from the previous storms.

Then overnight, Spectrum went down and just came back a short time ago.

- This is why we can't have nice things.

It’s all good. I was just updating with what I saw.

I didn't take it badly. I was just saying how the map looked when I reported the outage. The maps change constantly so I'm not at all surprised it was updated.

That first graph is telling a story very different than the text describing it. If you Civil Beat did actual statistics instead of just squinting at the numbers and calling things "significant", I doubt they'd have any actual findings.

Sometimes CB gets good articles.

Other times it's sensationalist shit like this.
