HONOLULU, (AP) — Hurricane Dot moved well north of the Hawaiian Islands Saturday and weakened into a tropical storm.
But her 75-mile-an-hour winds had flooded and ravaged the Island of Kauai at the northern end of the Hawaiian chain.
Dot's howling gales ripped roofs off houses, wrecked old frame buildings, flattened sugar cane, knocked down power and telephone lines and sent 1,000 tourists and residents to high ground.
Official estimates for the damage in Hawaii ranged up to six million.
