Hurricane Lala Heads for Hawaii | Orlando News

Hurricane Lala, a Category 1 storm with 75 mph winds, is barreling toward Hawaii—bringing historic flooding, deadly surf, and torrential rain to the Big Island. Governor Josh Green has declared a State of Emergency as a Hurricane Warning takes effect there, while Tropical Storm Warnings cover Maui, Oahu, and Kauai. Already, power outages plague the Big Island as heavy rain bands arrive—with forecasters warning of 5-8 inches of rain, up to 18 inches in mountainous zones—and life-threatening flash floods and mudslides expected Saturday through Sunday. Moving northwest at just 8 mph, Lala’s slow crawl across the islands amplifies danger. Officials are urging everyone to stay alert and follow safety protocols as this rare Pacific hurricane threatens to reshape Hawaii’s weather this weekend.
