Daughter and SIL live near the SW corner of Kauai. They came through the Lowell hurricane safe, mostly due to good hedge and shrubbery windbreaks in their yard. Which are now shredded. Winds there peaked at 87 mph. They had some rain blow through the louvered glass windows. The issue now is power outage. They're not expecting power to be restored to where they are at for some time because of how remote they are. 90% of the island was without power, higher priority eastern Kauai is getting their power restored first. They have a solar powered Tesla power wall, but Tesla decided a couple days before the storm got there to disable the system. That left them no time to buy a generator locally. Hence, we spent a hurried morning finding, buying and shipping one by overnight FedEx. Should be there before noon tomorrow. Gasoline is not supposed to be a problem. Gas stations were all topped off before the storm arrived as well as tanker trucks staged around the island.
