Hurricane Lowell hits Hawaii, leaving tens of thousands without power

–

Neutral summary

Hurricane Lowell, weakened to a Category 2 storm, struck the western islands of Hawaii early Tuesday, bringing fierce winds, heavy rain and flooding. Tens of thousands of homes lost electricity, with 91% of customers on one western island left without power, according to local authorities. A hurricane warning was issued for Kauai and Niihau, and Hawaii's governor declared a state of emergency as the storm approached. The National Hurricane Center reported maximum sustained winds of 177 km/h (110 mph), with up to 600 mm of rain expected in some areas, raising the risk of flash floods and landslides. Lowell is the third tropical system to threaten Hawaii in recent weeks, a pattern linked to an unusually strong El Niño that forecasters say could persist until February 2027.
