Father of Lawrence resident waits on hurricane report
At least one Lawrence man may have experienced first hand the hurricane that thrashed Kauai Island on Friday. Lawrence resident Robert Harrison said his son Phil, a local Realtor, left on a business trip to the island with his wife Beth. He reported Phil and Beth headed to a shelter and that as of Saturday evening he had not heard from them. The family owns a shopping center in the island’s Wailua district. Iniki brought 130 mph sustained winds and up to 160 mph gusts, damaging homes, blocking roads, and severing island communications.
