The wider storm

An approaching cold front and its associated upper trough caused strong southwest and west winds across the Hawaiian Islands. The strongest gusts were near the summits of Haleakala in East Maui, and Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawaii. The high winds led to spotty power outages in the islands, trees and tree branches being blown down, and some roofs being torn from their structures. No damage estimates were available, however. There were no reports of serious injuries.
