Hurricane Lowell left parts of Hawaii with widespread power outages, flooding, road closures and dangerous surf.

Hurricane Lowell is being linked to at least two deaths in Hawaii after battering its western islands with intense winds and a heavy storm surge.

Thousands of customers, including some resorts, remained without power late Thursday, as crews continued clearing streets of downed trees and utility poles. Extensive lines backed up at Kauai’s primary airport Thursday as people tried to depart the island.

HONOLULU (AP) — Damaging winds and heavy rains from Hurricane Lowell were pelting Hawaii's western islands early Tuesday, bringing the threat of floods, mudslides and tornadoes. Along the Southern California coast, dangerous surf conditions kicked up by the remnants of Hurricane Marie were expected to stick around for several days.

Hawaii is under a state of emergency as Hurricane Lowell, a Category 2 storm, slams the islands with life-threatening rain.

Lowell never officially made landfall, but its widespread impacts made it one of Hawaii's most consequential tropical cyclones in decades.

Hurricane Lowell brought its strongest effects to Hawaii’s western islands Monday night into Tuesday, generating waves reported at 15 to 30 feet that damaged roads and coastal homes and left tens of thousands without power on Kauai.

At 5 p.m. Tuesday, Tropical Storm Lowell was 310 miles north-northwest of Lihue and was moving to the north at 15 miles per hour.
