Hurricane Lowell

So far, peak gusts of 80 mph or stronger have been measured in several locations on Kauai, including Waimea (85 mph) and Lihue (84 mph). An 80 mph gust was clocked near Kula on Maui's interior, and gusts to 62 mph were reported in higher terrain of western Oahu.

These winds knocked out power to 90% of customers on Kauai.

High surf and coastal flooding affected some roads, prompting closures including a stretch of the Farrington Highway in western Oahu.

Almost 18 inches of rain has fallen so far over the mountains of Kauai, with general 2 to 5-inch totals over lower elevations. Up to 8 inches of rain has fallen over Oahu's higher terrain well north of Honolulu, while up to 9 inches of rain has been recorded over Maui's mountains.

Lowell even prompted Hawaii's first known tornado watch for Kauai through early Tuesday morning.

Hurricane Lowell moves away from Hawaii, but winds, flooding continue
