Mainly posting as a reference for the next time (or even later today), but here’s the Hawaiian Electric power outage map for Oahu.

All this wind is causing major disruptions. An outage that was supposed to be two hours long went on for at least five hours.

Okay, I lied. I didn’t stop. Gotta give it to Spectrum to send this Service Update email. Yes, Spectrum, the television, phone, and Internet service provider… not the electricity provider.

The email is funny stating “Your power company is taking longer than expected” and that Spectrum will provide another update in three hours. I mean that’ll be around 8pm at night. I don’t think I’ll need a Spectrum Service Email to tell me my power isn’t back as I sit in total darkness if power isn’t restored by then.

First of all, one power outage at home is irritating enough, especially when it happens at lunch time, and you can’t heat up any food and can only drink lukewarm tap water. Compounding that irritiation is HECO’s aggressive service restoration estimate of one hour. Yeah… that was more like two hours from 11:30 to 1:45.

Okay, fine whatever. Power comes back, lunch is eaten, and work is resumed… then the power goes out for a second time today. The HECO outage system says this.

It’s now 4:53pm.

Yes, this is 2025, the year of irritation.

That tradition continues tonight on the eve and first day of 2016 with power going out around 11pm and coming back around 5am.

Lots of stars out on a clear night (see the little white specks).

The moon was shining bright as well.

There’s been a prolonged outage as my server on Dreamhost is getting fixed. First there was a planned behind-the-scenes migration for my Dreamhost server. But then, there was an unexpected hardware issue. Because of this, Pulpconnection has been coming and going as things are being fixed.

Hopefully the situation stabilizes soon.
