An elderly friend of fam lives on senior apt on Pauahi. she said power was out for almost 11 hours on Kamehameha day. Know one told her whats going on. I wanted to visit that night but am afraid of going to Chinatown after darkness falls.

On June 11th, all the buildings between Beretania and Hotel streets from River to Bethel had outages which affected hundreds of residents and business owners. Hawaiian Electric Company has yet to publicly disclosed this.

[@kevincomaskey]

Come on news organizations. Let’s get a little more detail about how this happened

[@jamesmoninger1982]

Yes, some additional detail about how and why this happened, and a little less about the guy that didn't get manapua for his party on Maui.

[@garrettyamada9821]

Over the past couple of weeks, Waipahu has lost power about once a week. Fortunately, it was only out for an hour or two. Basically, I consider myself fortunate that they have only been short outages so far. 🙏

WEF: You will own nothing and you will be happy. HECO:...in darkness.

[@ajswackyworld6465]

What about the residents and especially the seniors w/ medical conditions that live in the affected area? Who’s gonna pay for all the spoiled food? Outage lasting for more than 27+hrs.? Are you kidding me? Where is your care and concern for the people eating out of 7-11 Mr. Darren Pai?

Redundancy was suppose to the Honolulu power plant right in the town at the Aloha Tower. It supposed to be able to run whenever needed. Why does the 1950s seem more sustainable than the 2020s? Reporters need to ask these questions.

[@YodaThe1]

Get manapua from Chun Wah Kam instead. They have baked manapua.

Their new motto "HECO, bringing the 3rd world to Hawaii!"

[@nohea9936]

This electric outage better not be connected to the CCP wishful takeover of Hawaii, as most BLUE STATES took the payoff and surrendered to the Commuist Chinese Party. Ige gave the CCP usage of the Maunakea. Now the Maunakea road is returned to the Hawaiian people per the Supreme Court of Hawaii. The UH has no business with what happens in Hawaii. Their job is to teach students and that's all. The UH cant even generate money to support themselves so why in blazes do they think they are in charge of the Maunakea, and our taxed dollars has to pay their salary.

[@nadinelynch9591]

So my people improvise, look at who is open.

[@ThumbdownMan]

They actually interviewed a guy that couldn't order manapua. First world problem.

[@localboyn2deep146]

Bro there's other places that sell charsu manapua. Hello 👋

[@NuttGreez]

Part of the squeeze along with the "clean ups" to do to Chinatown what they did with Kakaako... Hobble income and make it more desirable to luxury developers.

[@robnalu6436]

Pali no power.

[@KaizuoSilva]

lies

[@l82nite]
