Crews work to restore power to thousands after Lala raked Hawaii

Crews in Hawaii are working to restore power to thousands of residents following the destructive impact of Hurricane Lala over the weekend. The storm caused significant damage, particularly on the Big Island, Maui, and Oahu, with many large trees falling and power lines being toppled. Hawaii County Mayor Kimo Alameda stated that while the storm has caused one death, the recovery process will be "somewhat brisk."

The National Weather Service reports that the storm has moved west and is expected to eventually turn north toward the remote Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument.
