Hurricane Lowell Threatens Hawaii | Miami News

Hurricane Lowell, a Category 3 storm with 115 mph winds, barreled toward western Hawaii, triggering hurricane warnings for Kauai and Niihau—and even parts of the Papahanaumokuakea Monument. Though it was forecast to weaken by Tuesday, it would still be a hurricane when closest. Torrential rains—up to 14 inches on Kauai, 8 inches on the Big Island, and 6 inches on Oahu—posed serious flash flood and mudslide risks. A 3-foot storm surge, dangerous surf, rip currents, and even tornadoes were possible, especially near Kauai and Niihau Monday night. This was no ordinary storm—it brought wind, water, and wild weather all at once. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
