Hurricane Lala

Hurricane Lala Impacts Hawaii Islands

Forecasters warn Tropical Storm Lala could strengthen into a hurricane and threaten Hawaii, with a hurricane watch in effect for the Big Island as heavy rain, strong winds, and dangerous surf disrupt travel and tourism across the islands. Models indicate Lala could pass near or over Hawaii this weekend, bringing 5 to 20 inches of rain and the threat of life-threatening floods and mudslides, especially in steep terrain.
