Tropical Storm Lala Heads for Hawaii | UK News

Tropical Storm Lala is barreling toward Hawaii’s Big Island, bringing hurricane warnings, torrential rain—up to 25 inches in some spots—dangerous surf, and possible storm surges of 1 to 3 feet. With a state of emergency declared, officials urge residents to secure homes, stock up, and stay off beaches due to rip currents. This could be the most powerful storm to hit the Big Island since Hurricane Iniki in 1992, and the last direct hit was Tropical Storm Darby in 2016. The mayor warns of flooding, power outages, and high winds, stressing that even a slight shift in the storm’s path could make things worse. Meanwhile, a super El Niño brewing in the Pacific may fuel even more intense storms, adding urgency to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park’s partial closures as the island braces for impact.
