HONOLULU, Nov. 28 — More than nine inches of rain
fell on parts of the Big Island as strong storms
soaked Hawaii, snarling traffic, downing power
lines and closing schools. The National Weather
Service extended a flood watch into Wednesday
for Maui, Molokai, Lanai and the Big Island.
THE BIG ISLAND was hardest hit, with 9.28 inches
of rain falling at Kapapala Ranch over a 24-hour period,
said Tim Craig, a forecaster with the Weather Service.
“It certainly is going to be greater when the totals come
in” after the rain ends, he said.
Wind gusts of 45-55 mph downed trees and knocked
out power to thousands of homes on Oahu. More than 5
inches of rain fell on the island and on parts of Maui, Oahu
and Kauai.
Public schools on Molokai were closed because of the
rain.
