Stormy Weather for a State Still Reeling from Devastation The recent close call between Hurricane Lala and Hawaii's Big Island is a sobering reminder that even with advanced weather prediction and preparation, natural disasters can still have devastating effects.
The storm's intense rainfall and strong winds caused significant disruptions, but it was fortunate that it skirted the island without making landfall.
The Big Island's narrow escape contrasts starkly with the devastation wrought by hurricanes in other parts of the world.
