Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - April 2, 2008

FROM THE VISIOINARY RADIO NEWS CENTER I’M JEFF KING WITH MAUI TV NEWS.

THEY'RE STILL NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHY, BUT POWER WENT OUT FOR MOST OF MAUI THIS AFTERNOON. LAHAINA AND THE REST OF WEST MAUI WERE UNAFFECTED BY THE OUTAGE – THAT FLICKERED, THEN BEGAN SHORTLY AFTER 1 THIS AFTERNOON.
MAUI ELECTRIC CREWS BEGAN BRINGING SMALL POCKETS OF CUSTOMERS BACK ON LINE WITHIN AN HOUR, DOING IT IN SMALL INCREMENTS TO AVOID A MAJOR REBOOT THAT MIGHT CRASH THE SYSTEM AGAIN. ENERGY WAS RESTORED - FIRST TO KAHULUI AIRPORT, THEN TO MAUI MEMORIAL MEDICAL CENTER, THEN TO POLICE AND FIRE HEADQUARTERS. IF YOU'RE STILL IN THE DARK N THIS BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY, MAUI ELECTRIC SAYS YOU'LL BE BACK ON VERY SOON.

THE OUTAGE REPORTEDLY ORIGINIATED AT THE KIHEI SUBSTATION.

ISLAND WEATHER, STRONG WINDS THAT WERE BEHIND MAUI’S POWER OUTAGE WILL LIKELY KICK UP AGAIN TOMORROW. TONIGHT, MOSTLY CLEAR AND WARM WITH LOWS AROUND 72. TOMORROW, HIGHS IN THE MID 80S AGAIN.
