The Big Island was the most affected, with 31,792 customers without power, and Maui County had 7,203. The National Hurricane Center warned of "life-threatening flooding and mudslides" due to predicted rainfall of 10 to 20 inches on the Big Island, potentially reaching 25 inches, and 8 to 12 inches in eastern Maui. Hawaiian Electric reported that fallen trees damaged transmission lines on the Hamakua Coast. The hurricane, a Category 1 storm with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, also led to the closure of Hilo International Airport, Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport, and several commercial ports.
