Hawaii Lashed By Rain & Flooding As Hurricane Lane Approaches

Description

According to a report by Reuters, on Thursday, high winds and torrential rains lashed Hawaii, as Hurricane Lane sparked flash floods and landslides. Schools and offices have reportedly been closed, and residents are bracing as over a foot of rain has already fallen as Lane passes some 200 miles south-southeast of Kailua-Kona. Kelly Wooten, a spokeswoman for the Hawaii County Civil Defense agency, said there were no immediate reports of injuries, but tourists have been advised to stay away from a popular attraction on the island of Maui called the Seven Sacred Pools. Hurricane Lane is currently a Category 4 storm, bringing sustained winds of 130 miles per hour.
