Hurricane Lala’s Devastating Impact on Hawaii | Hattiesburg News

Hurricane Lala, now a tropical storm, tore through Hawaii with devastating force, sweeping away homes, toppling trees, and plunging 200,000 into darkness—yet no lives were lost. On the Big Island, nearly 100 homes vanished from their foundations amid torrential rains and 100+ mph winds, while Oahu’s Honolulu saw over 600 emergency calls and hospitals scrambling on generators. Residents like Cynthia Channels described winds that ripped roofs apart, and Governor Josh Green warned of a long road ahead. As Lala heads west, possibly regaining hurricane strength, communities like Punalu’u are buried in mud—but resilience shines bright as neighbors rally to rebuild together.
