Hurricane Nolo is forecasted to cause severe flooding in Hawaii on Friday, with up to 25 inches of rain expected, prompting evacuations and school closures. Activating over 230 National Guard members, the state warns of catastrophic conditions including mudslides and dangerous coastal waves. This follows recent storms that devastated communities earlier this summer, leaving some areas still recovering from Hurricane Lala in August.

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.
