I was just going to comment - they'll have to endure the nearly perfect weather with no AC... Imagine mid 70s with a slight ocean breeze with no AC! How will they survive?!
Further inland, it gets pretty hot and easily hits over 90F. It's survivable, but obviously not ideal. So of course, yet again, rural residents get shafted by coastal elites who don't have a care in the world about other people!
I imagine that, though inconvenient, it probably would not be too difficult to live without electricity entirely for an extended period of time in Hawaii. Then again, I can't speak for everyone of course.
I grew up in Michigan and we used to get winter storms that would knock out power for weeks at a time. We had blankets, a fireplace, the back porch for a freezer, a low cool place on the floor near the back door as a refrigerator, and oil lamps to read by. I remember once studying for final exams in college by the light of an oil lamp because the power had been out for several days due to an ice storm taking down all the power lines. It's amazing what you can get used to.
Fortunately for Hawaiians, Hawaii is a fairly temperate climate. If this were Minnesota or Alaska, true devastation could be expected.
