1 Person Lost His Life Due to Hurricane Lala in Hawaii

According to CNN, Hawaii Governor Josh Green shared details about Hurricane Lala in his statement on social media.

Green reported that one person died in a traffic accident related to the storm.

The US National Hurricane Center stated that Lala's wind speed, which strengthened to Category 1 yesterday, reached approximately 129 kilometers per hour, and warned that it could cause floods and landslides.

Hawaii County Mayor Kimo Alameda also noted that the hurricane warning continues and called on residents to take shelter in safe places.

Alameda noted the highest number of road closures in the state so far and power outages are expected to last longer.

In Hawaii, markets and gas stations were crowded before the hurricane. Evacuation centers were opened in some regions.

While more than 60 thousand households across the state were left without electricity, more than 190 flights were delayed.

The last hurricane to directly hit Hawaii was Hurricane Iniki, which had a Category 4 impact on the island of Kauai in 1992.
