Hurricane Hone, which brought significant rainfall and strong winds to Hawaii over the weekend, has been downgraded to a tropical storm as it moves westward away from the islands. The storm caused widespread flooding, downed trees, and power outages, particularly on the Big Island, where some areas received over a foot of rain. Emergency crews are now focused on restoring power and clearing debris. As Hone weakens, attention shifts to Hurricane Gilma, which is expected to approach Hawaii later this week but is forecast to weaken before reaching the islands. Additionally, Tropical Storm Hector has formed in the Eastern Pacific, adding to the region's storm activity. Despite the adverse weather, public schools on the Big Island are reopening, with only a few exceptions due to hazardous road conditions.
