From the Storm Events narratives, unedited.

As quoted in the Star-Advertiser, the Hawaii County Civil Defense Administrator reported the county had received thirty eight damage claims from Kohala to Kau and that, out of the thirty eight damage reports, eighteen had been verified. Nine of these damage reports were major, meaning they may be uninhabitable. One of these properties included a home used as a bed and breakfast experienced extensive flooding with massive mud, boulder, and debris buildup in the home.

Heavy rain from the outer bands of Hurricane Hone caused flooding which closed several roads over the southeast portion of the Big Island. In the Kau District, Highway 11 was closed at Kawa Flats. Wood Valley Road and Cane Haul Road were closed near Pahala. In the Puna District, North Kulani Road was closed. Many of the roads were damaged.

A best track is the record a warning agency settles on after the storm, not what it said at the time: position, maximum sustained wind and central pressure every six hours, revised against every observation that came in later. Category is the Saffir-Simpson scale, which runs from Category 1 at 64 kt to Category 5 at 137 kt and reads wind only, so it says nothing about surge or rain. Accumulated cyclone energy adds up the square of the wind through the storm's life, so it counts strength and duration together.
