Episode Details

Kauai’s shrimp farm faces a devastating loss of 120,000 pounds of shrimp after Hurricane Lowell obliterated power and damaged infrastructure—just one piece of a massive island-wide disaster. The storm left 80% of Kauai without power, caused hundreds of millions in damage, and may be the worst hit Hawaii has seen since Hurricane Iniki in 1992. Two confirmed deaths have been reported—one from storm surge, another from a falling tree—and tourism, the island’s economic backbone, is in freefall as visitors are urged to reschedule. Utility crews are racing to restore transmission lines before homes and businesses can regain power, while officials warn more severe weather could still be on the horizon. Recovery will be long, costly, and arduous for everyone on the island.
