The approaching storm could bring heavy rain, strong winds, and potential power outages to the Hawaiian Islands. Residents relying on electrically powered medical equipment are particularly vulnerable and should ensure they have backup power options or evacuation plans in place. The storm also poses risks to infrastructure, including power lines and transformers, which Hawaiian Electric has been working to reinforce. While the exact impact remains uncertain, the utility company is coordinating with federal, state, and local agencies to ensure a swift response.
