Tropical Storm Lala Hits Hawaii Hard | Amarillo News

Tropical Storm Lala slammed into Hawaii’s Big Island, turning paradise into chaos with 100,000+ power outages, downed trees, and flash flooding so severe it washed away graves. Though the storm weakened before landfall, wind and rain caused massive destruction—especially in remote southern towns like Naalehu and Pahala, where mudslides and debris left homes swept away. Governor Josh Green flew over the devastation, calling the flooding more damaging than the wind, and stressed these communities need urgent support to recover within days. While 911 service is restored and cleanup crews are clearing roads and bridges, officials warn the damage is still being assessed—but it could’ve been far worse. The storm’s moving west, leaving behind a muddy, broken landscape and a long road to recovery. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
