Hawaii Initiates Recovery Operations Following Moke's Passage Southward

Buzzline

In the aftermath of Tropical Storm Moke's movement south of Hawaii, recovery operations are back underway. Although the storm brought some rain and strong winds, the feared severe consequences did not materialize. Moke has since diminished to a tropical depression as it continued westward, allowing recovery teams to shift their attention back to the destruction left by Hurricane Lala. Over 100 residences were lost due to Lala, with rainfall surpassing 43 inches in Laupahoehoe. Hawaiian Electric has restored power to approximately 3,200 customers, though around 6,460 are still without electricity. Recovery efforts may extend into September in the most affected regions.
