Hawaiian Electric warned customers Saturday evening that the repair efforts were hampered by the hurricane-force winds and rain, citing flooded roadways and downed trees.
Big Island resident Cynthia Totty-Hefley said on Saturday she had “a little anxiety” about rising water. “What I’m most worried about is… the ocean coming into my house,” she told local station KITV.
An advisory from the National Hurricane Center at 2 a.m. HST predicted another 4 to 8 inches (10-20 cm) of rain on the Big Island and windward Maui, which would mean as much as 30 to 35 inches (76-89 cm) overall since Lala started lashing Hawaii late Friday.
Though the storm barely skirted landfall, Governor Josh Green cautioned islanders to shelter in place as forecasters warned of substantial damage.
