Hurricane Lowell expected to pass near one Hawaiian island and cause major rains statewide
As Hurricane Lowell approached Hawaii, Governor Josh Green of the state took precautionary measures, closing schools and government offices on the islands of Kauai and Niihau. The closures aimed to prevent traffic congestion and allow emergency services to focus on safeguarding communities. Kauai County, which includes the larger island of Kauai and the smaller Niihau, was under a hurricane warning from the National Hurricane Center.
The storm was predicted to bring strong winds, mudslides, and up to 16 inches of rain in certain areas. Meanwhile, Oahu experienced isolated rainfall totals of up to 10 inches, while the Big Island anticipated 12 inches. The governor urged residents to stay indoors, avoid unnecessary travel, and follow official emergency instructions.
