Power is back for most of Kauai after Hurricane Lowell, good news for the island, though a few North Shore and upland communities are still waiting.

• More than 96% of the island has electricity again.
• KIUC crews are now focused on the stretch between Moloaa and Hanalei.
• Fallen trees and storm debris are keeping crews from safely fixing damaged lines in Wainiha, Haena and Kokee.
• The state land department is slowly reopening parks and public areas.

Outlook: The remaining North Shore areas should have power back within the next few days.
