Hurricane Lowell brings threat of floods, mudslides and tornadoes to Hawaii
Hurricane Lowell, a powerful major hurricane, approached Hawaii and prompted a state of emergency. The storm was expected to pass near the sparsely populated island of Niihau while bringing heavy rains, flooding, and possible mudslides across the state. As the hurricane neared, it weakened from Category 4 to Category 3 strength. The storm has since battered Hawaii's westernmost islands with strong winds and large surf, damaging homes and cutting power to most of Kauai.
