Hurricane Lala Misses Big Island | Los Angeles News

Hurricane Lala slammed into Hawaii’s skies this past weekend, turning travel chaos into a statewide ordeal. Flights from LA to Maui, Kauai, and Oahu vanished by Saturday as the storm surged toward the Big Island—by Sunday, over a dozen flights were canceled, with more delayed. Packing 75 mph winds, torrential rain, and gusty havoc, Lala uprooted trees and knocked out power, even though its eye narrowly missed landfall, grazing the southern coast instead. Airports in Hilo and Kona shut down temporarily, leaving travelers stranded and locals scrambling. While dodging a direct hit was a lucky break, the storm’s wrath still rattled the islands—and reminded everyone that tropical systems can turn paradise into disruption in an instant.
