Hawaii Prepares For Possible Hurricane Direct Hit After 34 Years

Hawaii is preparing for a possible direct hurricane hit. This would be the first time in 34 years that a storm could strike the islands head-on. The Big Island is in the focus area, and residents are being told to stay alert as the weather changes. The hurricane’s name is Lala. It is currently expected to be a category one storm, but conditions can still shift. In the worst-case scenario, Lala could drop as much as 25 inches of rain, or about 63 centimeters, on parts of the Big Island. Such heavy rainfall raises the risk of flash flooding, fast-rising rivers, and dangerous mudslides. Emergency teams and local authorities are urging people to review plans, charge phones, and follow official warnings.
