Lala Again Brings Drenching Rain and Winds to Hawaiian Islands Tropical Storm Lala has once again brought its fury to the Hawaiian islands, leaving a trail of destruction and disruption in its wake.
The storm's slow passage by the islands has had significant impacts on residents, with roads affected, power outages reported for thousands, and at least one life lost in a car accident.
The National Hurricane Center warned that wind speeds could be up to 30% stronger atop mountains and on windward slopes, highlighting the unique vulnerability of Hawaii's geography to natural disasters.
