Hawaii Gas strike forcing several businesses to close
More than a handful of businesses, mostly restaurants on Hawaii island, no longer have gas to operate their restaurants and have been forced to shut down until delivery trucks come to refill the propane tanks they rely on to cook food.
On Wednesday after- noon at Kona Commons in Kailua-Kona, four restaurants that share a propane tank abruptly ran out of gas and have been waiting for a refill from Hawaii Gas before they can resume operations.
