Tropical Storm Lala has wreaked havoc across the Hawaiian Islands, resulting in extensive power outages affecting approximately 180,000 customers and damaging more than 100 homes on the Big Island. The storm, which briefly intensified into a hurricane, brought heavy rain, high winds, and even snow to some areas. As Lala moves west, communities are facing significant flooding and road damage, restricting access to certain regions. Amidst the chaos, a state of emergency has been declared, prompting the closure of schools and government offices statewide. Emergency crews have been deployed to assist with rescues and clean-up operations, while residents are urged to stay off the roads as recovery efforts begin.
