Hurricane Lowell Heads for Hawaii | Portland Maine News

Hurricane Lowell, a Category 3 beast barreling toward Hawaii, has officials on high alert as tropical storm warnings blast Kauai and Niihau—expecting up to 14 inches of rain that could trigger deadly flash floods and mudslides. With winds stretching 175 miles out, the storm’s outer bands are already whipping up chaos, prompting residents to stockpile water, meds, and batteries while boarding up homes and preparing for days without power. In Lihue, shelves are emptying as locals brace for impact, ready to cook over grills if the lights go out. Meanwhile, another storm, Marie, is churning up dangerous surf and rip currents along Mexico and Southern California—another reason to stay out of the water for now.
