Hurricane Lala Hits Big Island | Cleveland News

Hurricane Lala is barreling toward Hawaii’s Big Island, now a Category One storm with dangerous winds, torrential rain, and a high risk of flooding and mudslides. If it hits land, it would be the first hurricane ever to strike the Big Island—and the first in Hawaii in over three decades. Forecasters warn of 10-20 inches of rain, with some areas seeing up to 25 inches, overwhelming drainage and triggering deadly mudslides. Governor Josh Green is urging everyone to stay indoors and off roads—especially as floodwaters rise, which can hide dangerous undercurrents and hidden hazards. Strong winds are expected across a wide area, up to 175 miles out, so officials are warning against driving through any flooded areas and cautioning about falling trees and debris. Stay safe, stay inside. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
