Tropical Storm Lala Causes Power Outages and Flooding in Hawaii

Crews in Hawaii are working to restore power and clear debris after Tropical Storm Lala swept through the islands over the weekend, causing significant flooding and infrastructure damage. The storm, which weakened from a hurricane, left thousands without electricity and disrupted daily life, including schools and non-emergency operations. Hawaiian Electric reported extensive damage to power lines, particularly in remote areas, while Maui County officials noted fallen trees and damaged infrastructure. The storm has since moved westward and is expected to turn north toward the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, according to the National Weather Service. One fatality has been confirmed—a 90-year-old woman found in Naalehu. Recovery efforts are underway, with officials emphasizing the resilience of affected communities.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring two new tropical disturbances in the Pacific Ocean, just days after Hurricane Lala caused significant damage in Hawaii. One system is expected to develop south-southwest of Mexico later this week, with an 80% chance of formation over the next seven days. The second system, located east-southeast of Hawaii, has a 50% chance of development within 48 hours and an 80% chance over the next week. Meanwhile, Hawaii continues to recover from Hurricane Lala, which brought historic rainfall, flooding, and power outages to the islands. Governor Josh Green highlighted the extensive damage in communities like Naalehu, Pahala, and Waiohinu, emphasizing the need for ongoing support.

Tropical Storm Lala, previously a Category 1 hurricane, has weakened as it moves westward away from Hawaii. The storm brought heavy rainfall, with up to 30-35 inches (76-89 cm) expected in some areas of the Big Island. While no fatalities have been confirmed, Hawaii Governor Josh Green noted ongoing investigations into potential storm-related deaths. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reported that Lala could regain hurricane strength by Wednesday. Tropical storm warnings were issued for all major Hawaiian islands, but warnings for Kauai County have since been discontinued. The storm caused significant disruptions, including the collapse of a major highway in the Big Island's southeast, cutting off access to Pahala, which houses the region's only hospital.

Tropical Storm Lala, which had briefly intensified into a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds of 120 km/h (75 mph), weakened back to tropical storm status on Sunday morning. Despite not making landfall, the storm caused widespread destruction across Hawaii's Big Island and other parts of the state. Heavy rainfall, reaching nearly one meter (39 inches) in some areas, triggered flash floods and mudslides, while hurricane-force gusts battered the islands. Honolulu experienced significant impacts, including downed trees, power outages, and flooding. As of 11 a.m. local time, Lala was located 220 kilometers (137 miles) west of Honolulu, moving west-northwest at 28 km/h (17 mph) with sustained winds of 100 km/h (62 mph). The U.S. National Hurricane Center warned that Lala could regain hurricane strength by Tuesday or Wednesday as it moves away from Hawaii.
