Hurricane Lowell struck Hawaii's western islands on Tuesday night, bringing hurricane-force winds and torrential rain to Kauai and Niihau.12 The storm prompted Hawaii Governor Josh Green to close schools and government offices across the affected islands.12 Kauai, home to over 73,000 residents, and sparsely populated Niihau, with fewer than 100 permanent residents, faced hurricane warnings, while Oahu, with a population near one million, remained under tropical storm alert.12
The system unleashed dangerous conditions across a vast area. Sustained winds at Lihue Airport just exceeded 50 miles per hour, while gusts in some locations reached 80 miles per hour.12 The tropical storm-force winds extended nearly 200 miles across the region.12 Forecasters warned of severe flooding, mudslides, and tornado threats, with rainfall in parts of Kauai potentially reaching 24 inches.12
The hurricane added to recovery challenges from recent weather events; Tropical Storm Lala the previous month had destroyed approximately 100 homes and caused widespread power outages.12
