#lala recovery

A month after Hurricane Lala’s outerbands struck the Big Island, recovery is slow but sure in hard hit Ka’ū

Lala destroyed 27 homes and did much damage to many other homes, with Hawaiʻi County estimating $53 million to its facilities and infrastructure.

Lala struck in darkness. With no power, no cell service, one Nā‘ālehu resident prayed with her dog

Ka‘ū residents talk about their fear while Hurricane Lala struck at night, and the sadness when morning came and they could see the damage.
