Hawai‘i emerges virtually unscathed from earthquake
With no loss of life or serious injury, some power outages, which, in turn, temporarily disrupted air traffic and transportation systems, Hawai‘i is recovering quickly with power restored and conditions in Hawai‘i have returned to normal.
All hotels and resorts in Hawai‘i are reported open and operating and scheduled flights are generally operating; however, some flights have been delayed due to yesterday’s disruptions, with passengers advised to reconfirm their flights prior to going to the airport.
Callers to airline reservations systems should also expect that due to heavy call volume, delays may be experienced.
All main roads in Hawai‘i are open, however a rural highway on the Big Island of Hawai‘i (between Kawaihae and Hawi) is temporarily closed, with visitors who are sightseeing by car in that area advised to check with their hotel for current conditions.
While media outlets carried pictures of isolated damage in Hawai‘i, hotel operations are unaffected and Hawai‘i is welcoming visitors.
