A storm has driven hundreds of people in Hawaii into emergency shelters, with Kauai hit hardest as most of the island lost power.

• Five refuge centers on Kauai took in more than 300 people overnight as wind and rain worsened.
• Power is out to about 90% of Kauai, and more people are expected to seek shelter as the outage drags on.
• The refuge centers offer safety, water, and snacks, and can be converted into full shelters with cots, blankets, and hot meals.
• Additional centers opened on Oahu, including one in Nanakuli that may close if demand falls off.

Outlook: Shelters on Kauai are likely to shift to longer-term emergency shelters today and stay open as long as people need them.
