Story summary

Tropical Storm Nolo, which has since strengthened into a hurricane, threatens Hawaii, particularly the Big Island, with potentially catastrophic flooding and mudslides. Forecasters predict up to 35 inches of rain in some areas, causing life-threatening flash floods and severe damage. The storm's slow movement over warm ocean waters is expected to intensify it further before moving westward and skirting the islands on Saturday and Sunday, avoiding direct landfall but still causing heavy rainfall. Communities already recovering from earlier storms like Hurricane Lala in August remain vulnerable, with some residents displaced and rebuilding efforts at risk of being devastated again by Nolo's impact.
