Gusty winds yesterday caused headaches for drivers and a few homeowners yesterday, but no major damage was reported.

The National Weather Service said the windy conditions were to subside today, with winds of about 15 mph forecast through the weekend.

Weather service forecaster Tim Craig said high winds yesterday afternoon ranged between 20 and 25 mph on O'ahu, with gusts up to up to 30 mph. Parts of the South Kohala district on the Big Island had gusts up to 50 mph.

No damage was reported.

Last night, the Hawaiian Electric Company reported several power failures, all of which were likely wind-related. In Manoa, about 840 customers lost power in a series of failures. At least two were caused by downed power lines. A third was under investigation. Crews were working overnight to restore power to residents last night.

Power failures were also reported in Halawa and Makiki Heights, and HECO crews were also responding to several reports of sagging utility lines and leaning poles.

Janet Crawford, HECO spokeswoman, said extra crews were called in to deal with the problems. "The gusty winds are creating havoc," she said.

On Likelike Highway yesterday, two ironwood trees fell across the town-bound lanes near the Wilson Tunnel about 3 p.m. While state crews worked to clear the trees, all Honolulu-bound traffic was diverted to the H-3 Freeway. Kane'ohe-bound lanes were not affected.

Also yesterday, three homes — two in Manoa and one in Kalihi — sustained minor roof damage between 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. yesterday, the Honolulu Fire Department said.

No one was injured.
