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.

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.

Hurricane Lowell remains a powerful storm on Tuesday, with numerous warnings still in place for Hawaii.

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.

Gov. Josh Green closed Oahu and Kauai schools/offices as Hurricane Lowell nears, warning of 24 inches of rain, tornadoes, mudslides and dangerous rip currents.
