Tropical Storm Moke Descends on Hawaii Still Reeling From Hurricane Lala

Tropical Storm Moke, packing 85 km/h winds, approached Hawaii on 22 August 2026, a week after Hurricane Lala killed one person, cut power to 130,000 customers, and dumped over 39 inches of rain on Hawaii Island. Saturated soils and incomplete power restoration — not expected until 8 September — heighten flash-flood risk. Governor Green warned a third storm may follow within a week.
