Tropical Storm Lala is unleashing torrential rainfall, destructive winds, and hazardous ocean conditions across Hawaii as it progresses westward from the islands. The Big Island has experienced rainfall amounts ranging from 15 to 30 inches, with wind gusts at Mauna Kea reaching 140 mph. Over a quarter of utility customers across the state have experienced power outages, particularly on the Big Island. Reports indicate one fatality occurred due to a storm-related vehicle accident. As Lala departs, the risk of flooding, mudslides, and debris flows persists, with further rain anticipated into Monday.
