Hawaii Recovers from Hurricane Lala as New Tropical System May Approach
Hawaii Island continues recovery efforts after Hurricane Lala caused widespread damage, leaving about 17,000 customers without power and roads blocked by mud and debris. Hawaiian Electric has restored power to most affected areas but expects some repairs to take weeks. The storm resulted in two confirmed deaths on the Big Island. Meanwhile, forecasters warn of a potential new tropical depression forming southeast of Hawaii, which could develop into a hurricane near the islands by the weekend, prompting ongoing vigilance.
