  "account": "Honolulu, Hawaii (AP) — Tropical Storm Moke moved near the Hawaiian Islands on Sunday, potentially bringing heavy rain to areas hit by last weekend's Hurricane Lala. The storm was located about 310 miles south of Hilo, with sustained winds around 45 mph. Forecasters predicted Moke could drop up to 10 inches of rain across the Big Island and up to 15 inches in some isolated spots, causing life-threatening flooding and mudslides in the windward and southeast sections, especially on steep terrain and in areas affected by Lala. Eastern Maui could see up to 6 inches of rain. As of Sunday, over 6,700 customers, primarily on the Big Island, were still without power. Hawaii Governor Josh Green and state officials urged residents to prepare by stocking up on food, medicine, and other essentials, acknowledging the tension over the prospect of more rain in communities already suffering from severe flooding.",
