Hurricane Lowell left severe damage across Hawaii, including widespread power outages and destroyed homes. In one neighborhood, a house was ripped off its foundation and shoved into a neighbor's yard. Video from Oahu shows roads buried under sand and debris, trees snapped and toppled, and floodwaters left standing behind the storm. On Kauai, piles of shattered tree limbs stack up along the roadside. Coastal flooding shut down roadways as debris clogged streets, and officials reported damage to transportation infrastructure along with park and service closures across the islands.
