Hurricane Lowell Threatens Hawaii | Dallas News

Hurricane Lowell, a Category 3 beast with 115-mph winds, barreled toward western Hawaii, triggering hurricane warnings for Kauai and Niihau and a tropical storm watch for Oahu. The storm’s path sliced through the massive Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, bringing torrential rains—up to 16 inches in spots—and flash flood risks, especially on Kauai and the Big Island. Storm surge up to four feet loomed for Kauai, while dangerous surf and rip currents threatened coastlines across the islands. And don’t forget: tornadoes were possible near Kauai and Niihau Monday afternoon into night, adding another layer of danger as Lowell weakened but remained a hurricane.
