Many residents are still without power, and some may be without it for weeks.

Officials are still working to assess and address damage from the March 13-16 storm that dropped up to four feet of rain on the island of Maui.

Heavy rain, thunderstorms and potentially damaging winds are expected.

Many schools will be closed Friday due to the storm, including O‘ahu, Kaua‘i and Maui County public schools, and Hawaii State Department of Education offices.

On Friday, March 20, Hawaii Governor Josh Green announced the closure of all state departments and release of employees not considered disaster response and preparedness workers on O‘ahu due to a severe weather system forecast to strike the region.

Two powerful storms have hit Hawaii over the past week, so the recent rain landed on ground that was already saturated.
