"I’ve had an opportunity to survey the storm’s impacts in person and by reviewing drone footage, so I can verify the damage is substantial,” said Victorino. “South Maui was especially hit hard by significant flooding while other areas are coping with fallen trees, storm debris, downed power lines, and other hazards.”
