Hawaii's power company says it is ready for heavy rain and flooding on the Big Island, but residents should expect outages and finish preparing now.

• A low pressure system is sitting south of the Big Island through Saturday before turning west, bringing heavy rain and flood risk.
• Hawaiian Electric has pulled crews back from Kauai storm repairs and has staff, vehicles, and equipment on standby.
• Fallen trees and branches cause most storm outages, so property owners are being urged to trim trees.
• Outages can be reported by phone or through the utility's mobile app, and reporting helps track which areas are still dark.
• Repair times will vary — some areas came back within hours after the last storm, while badly damaged spots took much longer.

Outlook: Crews cannot start damage checks until the storm passes, so any widespread outages on the Big Island and Maui could last from hours to days depending on the damage.
