• Photo Essay: Hurricane Nolo Spares Hawaiʻi The Worst Of Its Wrath (civilbeat.org) — Hurricane Nolo brought heavy rain and flooding across Hawaiʻi Island, with dramatic images of water rushing through a culvert in Mountain View highlighting how close the community came to more serious damage. While nearby areas like Nāʻālehu and Pāhala saw landslides, road closures, and renewed flooding, improved preparations and cleared channels helped spare many homes and businesses from catastrophic impacts seen during Hurricane Lala.
