Episode Details

Tropical Storm Lala slammed Hawaii with catastrophic force, leaving at least one death, 130,000 without power, and homes swept away by flash floods—especially on the Big Island where 19 roofs were lost and rescue crews battled raging waters and debris. Though downgraded from hurricane strength, the storm dumped nearly three feet of rain in some areas, triggering deadly mudslides and forcing hospitals to switch to generators. Governor Josh Green confirmed a fatal car crash in South Point, while search teams raced against time to save residents trapped as homes were washed off foundations. With warnings still active for Maui, Oahu, and Kauai, officials brace for more flooding and wind-driven wildfires as higher elevations could see up to 35 inches of rain.
