Hurricane Lala batters Hawaii with flooding and power outages

Hurricane Lala, which reached Category 1 strength, passed near the southern tip of the Big Island without making direct landfall. The storm has since weakened to a tropical storm, but its effects continue to impact the Hawaiian archipelago.

Heavy rainfall, with some areas receiving up to 32 inches, has triggered widespread flooding, mudslides, and road closures. On the Big Island, at least 100 homes were reported damaged or swept from their foundations. One fatality was confirmed following a car accident in the South Point area.

Infrastructure has been severely disrupted. Over 200,000 utility customers across the state have experienced power outages, with significant impacts on Oahu and the Big Island. At least three hospitals were forced to operate on emergency backup generators. Additionally, numerous flights were canceled or delayed, and several airports and commercial ports were closed due to the weather conditions.
