Hawaii Storm Leaves Devastation and Power Outages | Fayetteville Arkansas News

Hawaii took a brutal hit from Tropical Storm Lala, which brought catastrophic flooding and sadly claimed one life — a 90-year-old woman. Though it started as a hurricane, it weakened before unleashing its fury, leaving thousands without power across the Big Island, Maui, and Oahu. Tourists found themselves stranded in sweltering hotels with no AC or phone charge, while roads were blocked and some communities isolated — even disrupting grave sites. A boil water notice was issued as a precaution. Officials say damage was less severe than feared, and recovery is moving fast as crews clear debris and restore infrastructure. The storm’s now heading west toward safer waters, but cleanup efforts are still underway across the islands. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
