Hawaii Prepares For Possible First Hurricane Direct Hit In Decades

Hawaii is preparing for a possible direct hit from a hurricane. Officials say it could be the first time in 34 years that a hurricane hits the islands straight on. The storm is named Lala. The Big Island is in the focus area, and residents are urged to stay alert. If the storm becomes worse, it could reach Category 1 strength. In the worst-case scenario, Lala could bring as much as 25 inches of rain, or around 63 cm. Heavy rainfall can increase the risk of flooding and other dangerous conditions. Emergency teams and local authorities are asking people to make plans, check supplies, and follow official updates so they can stay safe.
