Episode Details

Hurricane Lowell may have skirted Hawaii’s shores, but its wrath was still devastating—especially on Kauai, where nearly 35,000 lost power, roads were torn apart, and homes buried under mud. Massive waves smashed ashore, hurling sand and lava rocks inland, while crews battled to clear debris from flooded highways. Ni’ihau took a brutal hit too, and even Oahu felt the storm’s bite—with one tragic death after a tree crushed a tent. All this amid a brewing El Niño, one of the strongest in decades, fueled by warming oceans and climate change, turning storms like Lowell into fiercer, more destructive forces.
