A 42-story Waikiki building has been without power since Sunday after the storm, leaving residents stuck in their apartments with no elevators and no water — dangerous for older and sick people.

• Canterbury Place on Ala Moana Boulevard lost power Sunday morning and backup generators failed after a while.
• With elevators down, people on high floors were essentially trapped; one resident hauled two dogs and 100 pounds of gear down the stairs.
• The outage also killed the water, leaving a single working restroom on the 7th floor.
• Residents who need medication or nursing care are the biggest worry, and neighbors are going door to door with food.
• A second backup generator got one elevator running late Tuesday, but there is still no electricity.

Outlook: Residents are waiting on answers about when full power returns, and until then they are depending on neighbors and strangers.
