Tropical Storm Moke swept past Hawaii on Sunday, bringing the threat of torrential rainfall to communities on the Big Island still reeling from Hurricane Lala, which struck the previous weekend, killing two people and causing widespread flooding, mudslides, and infrastructure damage. Forecasters warned Moke could drop up to 15 inches (38 centimetres) of rain in isolated areas, raising the risk of further life-threatening flooding and landslides, particularly on steep windward and southeastern slopes already saturated by Lala — with more than 6,500 households still without power from the earlier storm. Hawaii County Mayor Kimo Alameda urged residents to shelter in place and avoid roads, while Governor Josh Green called on the public to replenish emergency supplies ahead of the storm's passage south of the island chain.
