Hurricane Lowell Heads for Hawaiian Islands | Spokane News

Hurricane Lowell is barreling toward the western Hawaiian Islands, with a hurricane warning now in effect for Kauai and Niihau—threatening high winds, torrential rain, dangerous surf, and even tornadoes. Though it won’t make direct landfall, its eastward shift has intensified risks, especially on Kauai where hurricane conditions are expected to hit Monday afternoon. With sustained winds of 110 mph and forecasted weakening, officials including Governor Josh Green and Mayor Derek Kawakami are urging extreme caution, warning of flash floods, damaging waves, and widespread tree damage. Oahu faces tropical storm warnings, while heavy rainfall—up to 14 inches in some areas—could trigger mudslides and flooding. Stay alert: this storm’s impacts are serious and could be life-threatening. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
