The Weather Channel • • nation
Key Points:
- Hawaii experienced flooding from Tropical Storm Moke just one week after severe flooding and winds caused by Hurricane Lala.
- Moke was initially classified as Tropical Depression Two-C before being upgraded to a tropical storm and then weakening back to a depression over the weekend.
- The main concern was heavy rain and flash flooding on the Big Island, which was already recovering from Hurricane Lala’s damage, prompting a flood watch.
- Several more inches of rain fell, particularly over mountainous and eastern slopes, increasing the risk of life-threatening flash floods and landslides.
- Although Moke traveled further south than Lala, gusty winds were reported, especially in and downslope of higher terrain, with tropical storm watches issued.
