  "summary": "Hurricane Lala has brought life-threatening conditions to Hawaii, with the National Hurricane Center warning of flooding and mudslides. The storm is expected to dump significant amounts of rain on the Big Island, with predictions of up to 25 inches of rain.\n\nThe eye of the hurricane neared the southern part of the Big Island, bringing heavy rain and strong winds to the state. Damaging hurricane-force winds are expected to continue through the overnight hours. According to The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, over 40,000 people have been left without power due to the storm.\n\nThe National Hurricane Center has issued tropical storm warnings for the state's seven other major islands, and officials are warning of potentially dangerous flooding across the US Pacific island state. The storm is moving northwest, but some erratic motion is possible as it interacts with the Big Island.",
