Kauai small businesses wrecked by Hurricane Lo are heading to Honolulu for a pop-up market, a small lifeline for owners who lost nearly all their income.

• A Kauai shop owner lost her revenue overnight when the hurricane shut her storefront, which may stay closed until Thanksgiving.
• Sales are weak across the island because tourists have stopped coming and locals are spending less.
• Job losses on Kauai jumped after the storm, with businesses laying off workers or closing for good.
• More than a dozen Kauai artisans will sell at the Art and Flea pop-up at Capital Modern in Honolulu this Friday, with vendor fees waived.
• The event adds a live concert, food, and other small vendors to draw crowds.

Outlook: Recovery will take months or years, as it did after Hurricane Iniki in 1992, so Kauai businesses will keep depending on off-island sales and visitor traffic returning.
