- The storm strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane Saturday before brushing the Big Island at around 5 p.m. local time, moving west-northwest with heavy flooding and hurricane-force winds.
- About 117 people sought refuge in shelters by Sunday morning to escape flash floods officials described as "like we've never seen," while more than 190 flights were postponed and 52 canceled.
- Repair crews from Hawaiian Electric face challenges clearing downed trees and utility lines that hampered restoration efforts, while authorities confirmed at least one death in a car-related accident.
- Kauai remains under tropical storm warnings with up to 6 inches of additional rain expected, though the storm should clear the islands by 8 a.m. Monday, recalling 1992's Hurricane Iniki.
