The wider storm

Upper air instability caused strong winds over portions of the Big Island and Maui, and induced showers and thunderstorms from the Big Island to Oahu. The strong trade winds downed trees, which then damaged a home and a garage in one instance in windward Big Island; and they generated surf of 5 to 9 feet along the east-facing shores of Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and the Big Island. Also, wintry conditions existed for a time above 11 thousand feet on the Island of Hawaii. There were no reports of significant injuries.
