- The phones are back on Kauai. I tried calling at about 3 AM eastern
- time (9PM Sunday night Sep. 13 there) and got a message saying
- facilities were down. About three hours later, calls were getting
- through OK.
-
- The situation there is bad ... phones are back up, but power won't be
- for another month. There's no running water, thousands are homeless,
- and information isn't getting out to would-be aid recipients because
- the local radio stations are off the air.
