Hawaiian Islands Face Second Storm in Two Weeks
Hawaiian Islands Face Second Storm in Two Weeks
US · Published Aug 25, 2026
The Hawaiian Islands are recovering from the impact of Tropical Depression Moke, which followed closely on the heels of Hurricane Lala.
While Moke weakened significantly as it passed south of the islands, it still brought heavy rain and gusty winds to the Big Island and Maui.

Impact & Risks

The Big Island and Maui were most affected by Tropical Depression Moke, which brought heavy rain and gusty winds to areas already damaged by Hurricane Lala. Saturated soils and high water levels in streams and rivers increased the risk of flooding and landslides. While Moke's impact was less severe than Lala's, the cumulative effects of back-to-back storms have left the region vulnerable. Residents in affected areas should remain cautious as the tropical season continues.
