Tourism officials are advising visitors to avoid a Hawaiian island as it recovers from damage caused by Hurricane Lowell. The storm brought intense wind and surging waves, damaging oceanfront resorts and roads, and knocking out power. Thousands of customers, including resorts, remained without power as crews worked to clear streets of debris.

The island's primary airport was operating on a backup generator due to storm damage, resulting in extensive lines for people trying to leave. Further details on the storm's impact and recovery efforts are available from officials. The situation is still being assessed and addressed by crews on the ground.
