  Severe But Contained

  Nolo causes major wind damage, coastal flooding, and power outages across parts of Hawaii, but the worst outcomes remain localized rather than statewide. Airports and ports reopen in phases, while federal disaster aid and utility crews limit broader economic spillovers.

  Catastrophic Statewide Damage

  Nolo produces a high-end disaster with extensive structural damage, flooded neighborhoods, prolonged blackouts, and major transportation disruption. Markets focus on insured losses, utility repair costs, and a temporary collapse in Hawaii-bound tourism.

  Damage Less Severe

  Nolo’s strongest winds miss the densest population centers or weaken quickly after landfall. Emergency officials still report serious local damage, but the outcome is better than feared for insurers, utilities, airlines, and hotel operators.

  Flooding Persists

  Even after the peak winds pass, slow-moving rain bands prolong flooding, landslides, and road closures. The delayed recovery produces a second wave of cancellations and raises uncertainty around rebuilding costs.
