""Refrain from coming to the North Shore, please. You're just gonna cause more traffic. There's nothing for you out here. Roads are completely covered in dirt. Everywhere is closed. Gas stations are down, no stores. The ocean is polluted with sewage and runoff. I mean, just please respect us and just don't come because there's nothing for you, there's nothing to see. It's not the North Shore right now. It's a disaster zone.""
""It's a very personal time for the homeowners, and they should ask permission if they [are using] it to promote volunteerism. People are taking videos from their cars or parking and walking with their selfie sticks crossing the roads to take photos of the damage.""
""Conditions are improving across much of the state, and most visitor experiences are happening as we speak, with some exceptions in the storm-impacted areas.""
Hawaii is recovering from kona low storms that caused flooding, damaging winds, and power outages. Residents on Oahu's North Shore are asking visitors to stay away, as increased traffic and onlookers hinder cleanup efforts. Local residents report that roads are covered in dirt, and essential services are unavailable. Honolulu's mayor and local representatives have echoed these concerns, advising against travel to storm-affected areas to ensure safety and facilitate recovery operations.
