Hawaii Recovers from Tropical Storm Hone

Hawaii is recovering from the impacts of Tropical Storm Hone, which brought heavy rainfall, flash floods, and power outages to the Big Island. The storm caused road closures, including major highways and local roads, and damaged infrastructure such as culverts and power lines. While no severe injuries were reported, one family was evacuated due to flooding, and some areas remain without power. Hawaiian Electric has been working to restore electricity, and additional flights have been added to accommodate travelers affected by cancellations. The storm also provided some relief from drought conditions. In preparation for Hone, the American Red Cross set up evacuation shelters and advised residents to refresh their emergency kits and follow safety protocols.
