The incoming storm poses significant risks to already vulnerable areas, particularly southeast Hawai‘i Island and East Maui, which are expected to receive heavy rainfall of 10 to 15 inches. Flooding and landslides are likely, especially in regions where the ground is already saturated from Hurricane Lala. Approximately 13,380 residents remain without power, with some areas facing prolonged outages due to damaged infrastructure. The storm could exacerbate existing challenges, including debris accumulation, damaged homes, and disrupted utilities. Vulnerable populations, including those in temporary housing or without power, are at heightened risk.
