Power Outage in Keaau, HI

As a front moved through the isles, high pressure in its wake brought blustery winds that resulted in power outages in many areas, downed trees and power lines, and roof damage to many residences. There also was heavy rainfall in some locales, the most significant was flash flooding on the Big Island that claimed a woman's life as she tried to cross fast-moving water in the area. No other deaths or serious injuries were reported. The cost of damages was not available.

A swell from Tropical Cyclone Madeline generated surf of 8 to 25 feet along the east-facing shores of the Big Island of Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Oahu, and Kauai, with the highest surf over eastern parts of the island chain. The system also produced gusty winds and heavy showers over parts of the Big Island. Power outages and minor flooding were the result.

Windy conditions, heavy showers, and high surf from a trade wind swell were all part of the panoply of weather that affected the Hawaiian Islands in the middle of March. The strong winds toppled trees and power lines, and blew the roofs off several homes throughout the state. Heavy rain caused ponding and isolated debris flows on roadways, and small stream and drainage ditch flooding. The trade wind swell produced surf of 8 to 12 feet along the east-facing shores of Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and the Big Island of Hawaii. No serious injuries were reported. The costs of damages across the island chain were not available.

A cold front moved rapidly through the Aloha State. There were only limited areas of heavy rain as the system moved from west to east across the island chain, though a flash flood did occur in East Maui. Also, a male tourist was struck by a falling branch at a golf course on Oahu and died from his injuries.||Power poles and lines, and trees, were downed in several areas as the front pushed through the state; a metal roof was blown off a home in Kunia Camp on Oahu; and three boats ran aground, and a boat lost its moorings, near Hilo on the Big Island. Very strong winds also occurred over the Big Island summits.
