Hurricane Lono has shut down Hawaii's inter-island shipping, which is bad news for Big Island farmers and anyone waiting on goods from the mainland.

• The Coast Guard closed the ports of Kauai and Hilo, and they stay shut until crews check the harbors for wreckage blocking the way.
• Young Brothers canceled a barge sailing, and the Hilo-to-Honolulu barge is pushed back by days.
• Farmers depend on those barges to get crops to buyers on Oahu before the produce spoils.
• Hawaii Public Radio cut its fall fundraising drive short to cover the storm, stopping short of its goal.
• The Dow fell 161 points the day before but was climbing back.

Outlook: Ports should reopen once inspections clear them, but delayed barges mean lost produce and thinner shelves on Oahu in the coming days.
