Many residents of Kauai are without power and facing extensive destruction after Hurricane Lowell lashed the island with rain, flooding and strong winds.

Hurricane Lowell has caused over $400 million in damage on Kauai, Hawaii, leaving thousands without power. Governor Josh Green seeks expedited federal aid to cover costs. Relief efforts are underway,

Fierce winds downed trees and caused widespread power outages on the island of Kauai, home to 73,000 residents.

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

The island is reeling after the storm and may be largely without power for days to come.

Hurricane Lowell track has nudged east, raising chances for near hurricane-force gusts on Kauai, as well as heavy rain across the Hawaiian Islands.

Forecasters warn Lowell could be near major hurricane strength as it moves close to the western Hawaiian Islands next week.
