AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoStorm Recovery & Safety: Tropical Storm Lala has weakened after skirting Hawaiʻi’s Big Island, but dangerous rain and gusty winds are still causing flash-flood risk, downed trees, and widespread damage. Officials report at least one storm-related death, with Oʻahu under flash flood warnings and the Big Island seeing ongoing flooding and elevated streams. Power & Infrastructure: More than 200,000 customers are without power statewide, with the Big Island hit hardest (nearly 70% reported out). Road closures are piling up across Oʻahu, and TheBus service was suspended Saturday before resuming Sunday morning with possible gaps. Homes & Rescue Efforts: Search-and-rescue operations are underway after flash flooding reportedly swept homes off foundations in Kaʻū (Naʻālehu/Waiʻōhinu area). Travel Disruptions: Honolulu cruise port remains closed, leaving Norwegian Spirit guests delayed indefinitely. Airports and flights were also disrupted as Lala approached, and travelers are facing cancellations and delays. Visitor Guidance: Authorities are urging residents and visitors to stay off roads, avoid flooded areas, and shelter in place while conditions remain hazardous. Tourism Spotlight: Aulani’s 15th anniversary Mickey and Minnie outfit reveal at D23 is still drawing attention, but storm conditions are dominating visitor planning right now.
