Hurricane Lala, classified as a Category 1 storm, has been lashing Hawaii with high winds and heavy rainfall, leading to at least one reported death on the Big Island. The storm, which has left thousands without power and prompted the closure of Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki due to falling debris, has also spread violent flash flooding across the region, sweeping homes away. As Lala approached, Hawaii declared a state of emergency and opened temporary evacuation points in Maui County. The storm was notable for its strong winds, recorded at 140 mph, and high surf conditions, disrupting flights between Los Angeles and Hawaii. As of the latest updates, Lala has skirted the Big Island without making landfall, yet continues to pose a threat with ongoing heavy winds and rain.
