Thousands of homes on Oahu are still without power days after a storm, and some neighborhoods also lost water — bad news for residents facing a slow cleanup.

• Power went out across much of the Mililani Mauka area early Sunday and about 2,000 homes are still dark.
• Water service also failed for hours Monday night after a Board of Water Supply facility shut down during the outage.
• Downed trees are still blocking driveways, and the city has been too swamped to clear them all.
• Neighbors are filling the gap — clearing roads, running generators, and handing out donated meals.

Outlook: Water operations should be back to normal by early next week, but power restoration and tree cleanup will likely drag on for several more days.
