@middletonnewsandpolitics: 🚨 HURRICANE LOWELL HAS LEFT TWO PEOPLE DEAD IN HAWAII AND KNOCKED OUT LĀNAʻI’S ONLY COMMERCIAL CARGO PORT. Hurricane Lowell damaged roads, resorts and electrical infrastructure across parts of Hawaii after passing the islands this week. Associated Press reported Thursday that two deaths have been linked to the storm. On Lānaʻi, Kaumālapaʻu Harbor, the island’s only commercial cargo facility, is inoperable and state officials estimate repairs will take about two weeks. Roughly 3,000 residents rely on that harbor for food, fuel, medical supplies and construction materials. (Associated Press; Office of the Governor of Hawaiʻi) Hawaii Gov. Josh Green has asked President Donald Trump for an expedited federal major-disaster declaration covering Kauaʻi and Maui counties. The request seeks federal help with debris removal, infrastructure repairs, emergency power and temporary cargo capability for Lānaʻi. State officials say assessments are still continuing, so the full scale of the damage is not yet known. (Office of the Governor of Hawaiʻi) Should the federal government approve Hawaii’s expedited disaster-aid request immediately?
