Hurricane Lowell battered Hawaii's western islands and is linked to at least 2 deaths
Hurricane Lowell, a powerful Category 3 or 4 storm, moved toward Hawaii's western islands earlier this week, prompting a state of emergency. The hurricane brought intense winds, heavy rains, and storm surge that damaged homes, knocked out power to thousands, and disrupted a major cargo port. At least two deaths have been linked to the storm. Crews are now working to repair the port and restore power as conditions improve.
