HILO, Hawaii (KHON2) -- Hawaii island is cleaning up from Hurricane Hone. While no severe damages were reported, major roads remain closed and some have been without power since Saturday night.
Sunday night's flash flooding from the stream had brown water rushing 100 yards out to sea and now, the county is rushing to clear streams and debris before more rain comes in this week.
From Kohala to Kau, Hone dumped over a foot of rain on parts of Hawaii island and some roads were damaged.
"Kau had major road damage, they got a lot of rain over there. We got two major ones: Kaaawa Flats and Cane Haul Road. That seems like that one will be out for quite a while, it took out a culvert," Mayor Mitch Roth explained.
Highway 11 between Punaluu and Naalehu remains closed, which prompted the Department of Education to cancel school nearby.
As of noon on Monday, Mayor Roth said about 20 damage reports came in. He anticipates more as power gets restored across the island.
On Monday afternoon, Hawaiian Electric reported roughly 2,000 customers from Mountain View to Volcano are still without power as crews continue working on lines damaged during the strong winds on Saturday night.
Many rural communities like Volcano were left in the dark on Sunday and businesses were eager to open with their generators so residents could come in for supplies.
"We were able to run generators and have people come in for necessities for the storm to weather it out," said Hawaii True Value Volcano employee Letasha Lucero.
Some volcano residents had power back on by 9 p.m. on Sunday night.
"Across the highway doesn't have power still. Lots of people are coming in today complaining about no power," Lucero added.
The county has opened two shelters for residents experiencing prolonged outages, one in Keeau and the other in Pahoa.
Flights in and out of Hilo were canceled Saturday afternoon and Sunday, leaving many people stranded.
Hawaiian Airlines added two more flights on Monday to accommodate all travelers resulting in long lines at Hilo Airport.
County crews were seen all over, clearing trees and debris from flooded or swollen streams as the island braces for more rain this week.
"We know now our grounds are saturated, so it's a great time to be prepared. If you don't have a plan, we recommend going to our Civil Defense website," Mayor Roth said.
The county is hosting two hazard mitigation meetings over the next two days where residents can provide comments and feedback.
