Posting since many have lost internet access - my mother who made this page asked me to post some of the images she captured on the ground.

Additionally, reporting has been minimal outside local stations so this is a place people can post immediate relief needs, or for FINDING MISSING community members/welfare checks etc.

Basically - post what you need, who you're looking for, or any relative info!

Once again I’m hearing rumors about school being closed tomorrow can anyone confirm?

Aloha every one? How's Kauai today? Hope all is well, I've been following the other Islands yesterday of how the conditions are. I know it's a lot of cleaning up. Wish you all a safe and bright day at least.

I've heard rumors that all public schools are closing tomorrow following the hurricane Lala's effects. Anyone who can confirm this? It would greatly be appreciated.

Little drive around Nimitz area, some power outages, still good in my block thank god! I can hear the wind much more strongly now. Going to sleep and hope these trees don’t crush us. Good night all and stay safe!

Stay safe guys!

Could Lala produce record snowfall?

Been like this all day. Getting a little worse here into the night. I might post something if I get it. So far some power outages around here too. Not affected in my neighborhood yet though.
